John K Clark

 

 

The constitution anticipated that.  This is why we have the amendment process.  

 

I would be interested in Godel’s take on it in any case.  

 

One I think is relevant to our times: the power of the president to deploy troops on a short term basis (by precedent 60 days) without approval by congress.  How that somehow translated into US involvement in Vietnam for years is a mystery to me, but putting that aside: every military action is going to be less than 60 days now.  Things happen fast compared to the days when the constitution was written.
