Law is irrelevant under the power of the gun; it was the threat to invade Greenland and the threat to leave NATO which have triggered this. (people keep saying things like "only Congress has the power to declare war"; that may be technically true, but a war declaration is a piece of paper, and practically the authorization of force is at the personal disposition of the President) | ||
