So is he a wimp who projects weakness all over the world, as you've written elsewhere, or is he an arrogant tyrant who rules by fiat and thinks he's above the law?
He can't be both Chamberlain and Hitler at the same time. Which is he?
Oh, by the way, it is legal for a president to take military action for a set number of days without approval. He's also made use of the blanket military authorization Congress has given the President for the Middle East theater, a law which is still in effect. Perhaps these laws need to change, and I would agree, but that's how the laws are now. You can't accuse him of being above the law unless he's broken the law.
