The president has been getting plenty of criticism from sitting members of Congress and a bunch of more purported “Con Law experts” on X who worry Trump may escalate to “kinetic actions” against Maduro, cartels and other narco-states. They argue Trump is violating “international law,” but they do not evidence even a basic understanding of the Article II grant of authorities to the president.

Constitution doesn’t change as presidents leave and arrive. Trump has the same authority President Washington’s, Lincoln’s, FDR’s and Ike.

Good presidents and failed presidents alike … their powers are the same. 

Very few “X experts” seem to know of the relevant decision in U.S. v. Curtiss-Wright Export Corp.—the 1936 decision when the Supreme Court held that a “political society cannot endure without a supreme will somewhere. Sovereignty is never held in suspense.”

If and when Congress directs the president to stop, then the issue would be joined. Until then: That key precedent from 89 years ago holds.

The president has vast power and he’s using it.
