'Past presidents have also targeted Somalia with similar such sporadic strikes against Islamist militants. It's part of the dangerous and ongoing post-9/11 trend of ordering acts of war on foreign soil but without any Congressional debate, review, or authorization whatsoever.

Libertarian and former Independent Congressman from Michigan Justin Amash complained about this lack of Congressional input:

Congress hasn’t authorized war in Somalia—even against ISIS.

The separation of powers exists to protect both the liberty and safety of Americans.

Offensive missile strikes are acts of war and can’t be justified without the express approval of Congress for the specific conflict.

Presidents can’t declare war. No congressional authorization grants the power to target “terrorists” as a general grouping.

US imperialism operates whoever you vote for. The bankers own the US government.
