6. "Commander In Chief"...A World Unto Itself
Methinks one of the biggest abuses that needs to be addressed is the role of "Commander In Chief". Supposedly that's the title this tyrant is hiding behind in his EOs and Signing statements and other actions. In this "unitary" executive concept this regime illegally operates under, the "CIC" title supercedes that of president. Since this regime claims we're "at war", it justifies it's lies and abuses on this "threat" that has never been clearly defined...and for obvious reasons.

I've heard several people argue that boooshie has the power to play tin-horn dictator based on the Commander in Chief provisions using the guise of the IWR as his justification of using "war powers".

Here's hoping we get a full investigation into these abuses...close the loopholes to prevent an out of control executive from ever waging a war for profit again.
