Not that I have any faith in the R congress to have a spine, but I’m not seeing how he even could do so if he wanted to without consent of Congress. Pretty well all the direct actions taken in the last couple decades come from the AUMF but that’s at least theoretically supposed to be linked to terrorist activities.
Apparently part of the treaty that returned the canal to Panama means that either Panama or the US can unilaterally ensure the canal’s neutrality if they feel it is threatened. So I’m sure they could make the argument that it falls under this. It would be bullshit, of course, but so are all of their other arguments.
Supposedly he’d have to have a reason, such as terrorism like you say, in order to pull a Bush Jr Invasion.
In todays wacked out evil af world… who knows. Im wondering why he’s just not using the CIA to “covertly” do this. But then again it could all be a bluff.

Because he doesn’t get public worship from black ops.
I hope that’s true
