Trump has the right to order an army to attack a country?
The US Army attacked Iran’s three nuclear hideouts in the morning. US President Donald Trump gave this information. He wrote on the social media trunk, ‘We have completed a very successful attack on Iran’s three nuclear facilities, Fordo, Natanj and Isfahan. All the aircraft are now out of Iran’s aircraft. Full bomb load was dropped at the main facility on Fordo. All jets are returning home safely. Congratulations to our great American warriors. No other army in the world could do this. Now is the time of peace! Thanks for your attention to this matter. However, his decision is being opposed in his own country. His decision has been declared unconstitutional. Now the question arises whether an US President can order his army to attack another country? What constitutional rights did he have to order an attack? After all, why is there opposition?
Yes, the order can be given
The US President is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Under Article-II of the Constitution, order can order military action on another country. However, it depends on the circumstances. The President has the right to initiate limited military action without the approval of the Congress in the event of an immediate danger (such as a terrorist attack). However, until the danger of terrorist attack on the country or no country is a threat, he cannot give permission to the attack without permission of the Congress.
When do you have to take approval?
The US President has to take the approval of the Congress under the War Powers Act of 1973 for a large scale war or long military action. According to this Act, the President has to inform the Congress within 48 hours of starting military action and after 60 days the action has to be stopped without approval. Internationally under the United Nations Charter, an attack is violated without the approval of the Self -Defense or Security Council.
Trump surrounded his own country
US President Donald Trump’s first term was disputed. During the rule of 2017 to 2020, he ordered the murder of Iranian General Qasim Sulemani without the approval of the Congress. After this he was criticized. Now Trump has repeatedly bypassing the Congress and taking decisions, which is being opposed in his own country. The anti -Congress Senate or the opposition is surrounded by the Trump army without the approval of the Congress.
