Its not relevant if it was active threat, if it goes over 60 days, they have to go to Congress. Also, the act requires it to be a active/ threat emergency against the US, territory, property, etc. for a President to be able to act on his own. Again, we would be arguing agains our former selves
I am very aware that Trump did this for Netanyahu. Also, I don’t support it, I don’t think it was legal, but 1- it is normalized, it has been done before & I have nothing to do with that. However, Congress has set a precedent that this is normal for Presidents to do, I can’t see winning impeachment
