for a President to threaten war in such a manner would be a greivous violation of the Constitution. Dave wrote: Could you 'splain again which section it is that prohibits a President from threatening war? Read Article 2. This specifies how the President shall be elected and which powers he may exercise. The President may make treaties with foreign countries (subject to ratification by Congress), but he cannot declare war. The President is the Commander In Chief but he cannot explicitly threaten war, nor can he invade other countries except under specific circumstances and in a limited way... this is why President Bush went out of his way to get Congressional approval of the invasion of Iraq... remember? Now read the 9th and 10th amendment... if he could do those things, the Constitution would specifically grant those powers. If it doesn't say so, he can't. It is a conservative belief that the Constitution be interpreted strictly & literally, and that it's grants & enumerations be taken seriously. I don't know what you believe in, are you a conservative or a liberal? DSK |
