Congress passed a resolution that specifically forbade Nixon from bombing Cambodia, but he got the military to do it, anyway. Precedent.

The Congress continues to simply step out of the way.

🙄

Reagan made no such pledge.

The Berlin Wall didn't even come down while he was president let alone German reunification.

@Ohplease47 Congress outlawed invasion or bombing in Cambodia but Nixon ordered secret bombings, anyway. He sey a precedent by getting away with that.

I prefer facts. Go pick up a book.

Bush 41 was president when the Berlin Wall came down and when German reunification was accomplished.
