Who's going to hold the president accountable? The UN? The UK? Russia? China? Without the military power to enforce your authority, you can't do much. The UN is the only organization that kinda has that kind of authority, but they depend HEAVILY on money and military force from the US to carry out their actions. No way they're going into conflict with us. If Russia or China tried anything, it would turn into World War 3 and everyone knows it. The UK is too much of an allie of ours to try anything, either. Other than that, nobody has enough military power to do very much to us. Sure, some other nations can hurt us, kinda like Bin Laden did with 9/11, but we'll hurt them back and we'll hurt them worse.
