Mark Kelly on if U.S. Military Should’ve Refused Orders to Invade Venezuela: ‘What You’re Getting at Is Constitutional Questions’

‘Can a president try to do a law enforcement action on a head of state, but use 150 airplanes in the full force of the U.S. Military to do that?’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

KELLY: “So, what we were talking about in the video is about a service member being given a specific order and having to make a decision about whether this is lawful or not. And this is like the reasonable person theory. What you‘re getting at is constitutional questions. Can a president try to do a law enforcement action on a head of state, but use 150 airplanes and the full force of the U.S. Military to do that? So, these are two different things. Now, Maduro is a bad guy, and it‘s good that he‘s gone. It seems like this president, because he had no plan beyond removing Maduro, has now installed Maduro‘s number two person in Delcy Rodriguez. You know, that‘s what we call in the Navy fleeting up, when the executive officer becomes the commanding officer. That‘s the situation we have in Venezuela right now. And it‘s because I don‘t think they had a plan of what was going to come next.”
