       The President may do anything the Constitution does not say he may not do.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump says during a Cabinet meeting,

       Not that I don’t have—I would—the right to do anything I want to do.  I’m the president of the United States.  If I think our country is in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it.

       NOTE: Although Trump used the word “country” here, the editors believe that he meant to use the word “nation,” in which a central government, with almost limitless power, treats its constituent states as mere enclaves, provinces, or sub-divisions of its greater self; as opposed to “Union,” which is a union of sovereign States under a federal system, with a central government whose powers are strictly limited by a respected Constitution.
