We've been abusing the Constitution for a long time with regards to deploying our military without congressional authorization. From Biden's EO -
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility.
Here is the pertinent part of §12304. Selected Reserve and certain Individual Ready Reserve members; order to active duty other than during war or national emergency
The authority under subsection (a) includes authority to order a unit or member to active duty to provide assistance in responding to an emergency involving-
(1) a use or threatened use of a weapon of mass destruction; or
(2) a terrorist attack or threatened terrorist attack in the United States that results, or could result, in significant loss of life or property.
It doesn't say he can do it to provide training and support for another country's war. Congress should be pushing back on this shit, but they never do.
