Is President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles cautioning the President that the U.S. Constitution requires that the “land strikes” on Venezuela, which he has been promising any day now, require prior Congressional approval?
The New York Post reported last night that Wiles told Vanity Fair in its Dec. 16 just-published interview with the White House chief of staff, that if the President “were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.”
As reported by the Post, Wiles said that “the President’s early goal was to ‘keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle. People way smarter than me on that say that he will.’” After that she asserted that the White House “understood” that “if he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.”
