    Michael Beschloss, speaking about his book PRESIDENTS OF WAR: “If you are worried about a president with authoritarian tendencies grabbing too much power...the quickest way he can do it is to take the nation into a war. Presidents in wartime can declare martial law."https://twitter.com/CrownPublishing/status/1059462587899920385 …

    Vox has just posted what it calls a “stunning” interview with Michael Beschloss on PRESIDENTS OF WAR, Donald Trump and how Presidents can dangerously exploit wars to seize new power and threaten American democracy. Read it: http://bit.ly/2Pa6L4W

        Then we may be safe...r! The likelihood that this Congress would actually declare war (other than on the caravan) on anyone is zero.

        So, if a single pebble is tossed across the US-Mexico border, our president will declare war on all of Central America. A massacre will commence on the Caravan or as someone once said, Trump will “Unleash the dogs of war.” What happens next? Martial Law, Civic War, WWIII?

        I have read Presidents at War cover to cover. It confirmed how I felt about Iraq being the new Vietnam. It also confirmed my fear of an egoist as president.

        Then, when a new guy rides into office on a message of Hope & Change™️ he instead weaves the dangerous executive precedent of his predecessor into the permanent fabric of American policy, cheered on by his supporters, then passes those horrors on to a verifiable lunatic.

        It is very concerning to for one person to have that kind of power. Good thing trump doesn’t read. He would be getting ideas.

        Why do you keep giving ideas to the MONSTER in the White House who otherwise, would have no original thoughts of his own ..... he feeds on other people's thinking, for good or ill, and you keep giving him blueprints to act upon in self-serving acts of self-defence.

        Drama. Relax. The Republicans aren't on one page. True, all Democrats seem to be. But so little faith in our country.

        Excellent point; we have a long history of Presidents declaring martial law. We should continue to be wary of Presidents like Lincoln. (Wait. What?)
