The President has authority as Commander-in-Chief to launch targeted strikes without congressional approval, particularly for urgent threats, under Article II, Section 2. Historical examples include Clinton’s 1999 Serbia strikes, Obama’s 2011 Libya campaign, and Trump’s 2020 Soleimani strike. However, Article I, Section 8 gives Congress war declaration power, implying oversight for major actions.

WOW: The DOJ sent a demand letter to CO SoS @JenaGriswold—
Requiring they give up ALL RECORDS for the 2020 and 2024 elections
Thanks to @realtinapeters, we’ve already seen the fraud—so Griswold could face criminal election misconduct, and/or that pesky 20 year felony ‘1512’…🤔
