Arr, as Cap'n, Biden be wieldin' mightier war powers than when he donned the hat o' the Senate, matey!
2023-09-15
Arr, the cap'n claims he can be commanding a wee bit o' armed shenanigans sans the approval of them lawmakers. Aye, most o' them G.O.P. presidential scallywags, including that swashbuckler Donald J. Trump, be keepin' mum 'bout their thoughts on the cap'n's powers.
Arr, mateys! Listen up, ye scurvy dogs! The president be sayin' he can be directin' limited military operations without them pesky lawmakers givin' their approval. Aye, ye heard it right! He be claimin' his authority be so great, he don't need no permission from them landlubbers in Congress.But hold on to yer swords, me hearties! It be seemin' that some of them Republican presidential candidates be too afraid to voice their thoughts on this matter. Aye, even that flamboyant sea dog, Donald J. Trump, didn't answer a survey on executive power. Be they hidin' in their ship's cabins, afraid to face this question? Or be they too busy countin' their doubloons?
Now, ye might be thinkin' to yerselves, why be this important? Well, me mateys, it be a matter of checks and balances. Ye see, in our fine democracy, the power be divided among three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. Them lawmakers in Congress be representin' the people, and it be their duty to make decisions on matters of war and peace. But if the president be claimin' he can be makin' these decisions on his own, without their say-so, well, that be disturbin' the balance.
So, me hearties, we be left wonderin' why them Republican candidates be avoidin' this question. Be they likin' the idea of a powerful president, one who can be actin' like a pirate king, makin' decisions without havin' to consult his crew? Or be they too busy practicin' their sword fightin' skills, preparin' for the treacherous battles ahead?
Only time will tell, me landlubbers! But mark me words, this be an issue worth keepin' an eye on. In the meantime, let's raise a mug o' grog to the art of political dodgin' and the language of a 17th-century pirate!
