“No president has ever been held to account by, and punished by, Congress for exceeding his powers and exercising its, not his, prerogative of declaring war or not. Why would Trump consider himself an exception? And why wouldn’t he try to stretch past administrations’ ridiculous ‘unitary executive’ claims even further? We’d live in a much different world today if Harry Truman had been impeached and removed from office over his surprise Korean ‘police action’ instead of receiving a retroactive congressional rubber stamp. … If we lived in anything like a ‘constitutional’ polity, the House would have already delivered Articles of Impeachment and the Senate would be trying the matter of Trump’s removal from office right now.” (03/03/26)
