      No, the president can unilaterally decide to deploy troops anywhere at any time, without congressional approval. The only limit is how long they can stay.

      Israel is highly dependent on the US for support, and Biden has plenty of ways that he could disrupt that support, both to whip them into line and to avoid giving weapons to people conducting a genocide. He does none of that, because Genocide Joe is fully on board with everything they’re doing, just as he has spent his entire career giving his full unwavering support to them.

          That’s why I never suggested that. Not sure where you got that idea.

          What I said is that he has the power to do it, if he wanted to. To dispel your silly notion that the president can’t even stop weapons shipments, that the most powerful man in the world is somehow just a smol bean who can’t do anything about anything.
