does constitution apply to interactions with other countries?
Discussion
It absolutely does, especially when matters of war are concerned.
was this a matter of war?
Ask the Secretary of “War”.
all I know is that he said FAFO. I don't know if he said it was an act of war. I don't think it was an act of war. Also, when was the last time they actually went through the constitutional process for matters of war (I don't think it should be that way, I'm just saying). Lastly, to answer my own question and invalidate your original statement, the constitution applies to domestic affairs and not international ones
Nothing is invalidated. Even Bush went to Congress for consent in Iraq. He lied to get it, obviously. Now the president doesn’t even bother to do that, which is authoritarian by nature.
Congress has abdicated its role. That's not the president's fault.
I don’t think one negates the other.
Sure it does. If Congress doesn't care to do its job, and the people don't care to hold them to it, the republic is over.
