THE PRESIDENT COMMANDS THE MILITARY

I’m setting the record straight on the War Powers Act, the Constitution, and the President’s authority as Commander-in-Chief. Politicians keep claiming the President must ask Congress before acting in a military crisis — but the Constitution says otherwise. Congress can declare war, but the President commands the military and protects the nation.

In the middle of a major campaign against a dangerous regime, some in Washington are trying to weaponize the War Powers Act to block the Commander-in-Chief. I explain why presidents from both parties have rejected it, why the Supreme Court has never ruled on it, and why this debate matters for national security, constitutional authority, and America’s leadership in the world.
