Barack ObamaThe president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation. As commander in chief, the president does have a duty to protect and defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the president would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent.

The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result. And thatโs a risk we canโt take.
