The U.S. Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 empowers Congress to “grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal.”
These commissions historically allowed private citizens to engage in acts that would otherwise be deemed piracy, such as capturing enemy vessels during wartime.
This mechanism provided an agile, cost-effective response to seaborne threats while adhering to the rule of law. Though it has not been used since the 19th century, the power remains a viable constitutional tool—one that could be repurposed to address modern-day non-state actors, like Mexican drug cartels.
Wow, that’s gangster AF.....I guess Lee's Mountain Meadows Massacre ancestorial roots are coming out.
Make Privateers Great Again!
Hell yeah, I always wanted to be a pirate!
