    "Section 8 ( of the US constitution)

    The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

    …( skipping some text)

    To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

    … ( some more text expanding on Congresses powers) "

    Kidnapping and capturing the leader of a foreign state sound’s like a act of war and only Congress has such power to declare War. But as I’ve said at other times the Supreme Court of the US is to busy cleaning the orange stains from their mouth with the Constitution to do shit about it.

      I don’t think other countries care whether Congress calls something a war or not. They didn’t even declare the Vietnam War.

        I understand other countries don’t care or would involve themselves In the internal affairs and word play of law that happens with in the boarders of the United States.

        Though I am a US citizen and find this despicable. I hope pointing this out to people within the US who support and defend the Constitution ( those big 2nd amendment people who voted for the orange clown) Would take a look at this fool ruining the constitution and it’s separation of powers that the founding father’s fought for. Maybe they will realize that he should be impeached and tried for high crimes against the Supreme rule/law of the land. Maybe hanged for such treason. But maybe I’m hoping for to much.
