I too suspect(sadly) that 10yrs out, we’ll regret this fatalistic Obama Doctrine. But whether folks agree or not,worth re-reading this piece https://t.co/g87LI8I3LL

Query this @BenSasse: (1) doesn’t your concern about executive overreach (commendable) apply to foreign policy too? https://t.co/pNd51EOYPL

POTUS has diff (more) powers in foreign than domestic policy. But his C-in-Chief powers are esp’ly unilateral primarily in an Emergency. https://t.co/pQdO8ZMLGc

2cases:
*Emergency
POTUS decides
Can act if RedLine crossed
*L-Term policy
He must consult.
Bad idea to draw line if u cant bring Congress https://t.co/2OlHtmCEUM

.@BenSasse I think it’s more narrow than “emergency”.
1. Imminent threat to US
2. After attack against US https://t.co/BAB89zjfhA
