      What’s this “2/3 of Congress” punchline that I keep hearing? Seems like you can put anything on the books and then do whatever you want as long as you have enough silent enablers.

        No but he can run a limited special operation for 150 days without congressional approval. Putting troops on the ground would put it legally questionable but scale hasn’t been tested yet.
