He can announce it, but a U.S. President cannot unilaterally withdraw the United States from NATO. A law passed in 2023 mandates that any decision to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty requires the "advice and consent of the Senate," meaning a two-thirds majority vote, or an Act of Congress.

Don't tell me: such an Act of Congress would be declared not subject to 60 votes.

I'm surprised he hasn't just dissolved Congress yet

Well, they wouldn’t even put up a fight at this point. Most of them are spineless cowards.
