EXCERPT:
ZAKARIA: “One final thought about all this, Anderson, is, of course, it‘s also worth noting that the president used military force in a situation that cannot really be described as preemptive. There was no danger of an Iranian attack to the United States. And as many senators and congressmen have pointed out, including Republicans, the power to go to war against another country is lodged in the Constitution with Congress. And what President Trump has done, and he‘s done this in a variety of places, is really try to unshackle the executive Branch from any constraints that he believes it operates under. This was a case of the president of the United States essentially attacking a foreign nation in an unprovoked way, without any congressional authorization, without even — not even a congressional resolution or motion, which sometimes, you know, presidents seek even when it‘s not a formal declaration of war. So it‘d be interesting to see whether there‘s any congressional reaction to all this.”
