When Donald Trump ordered the strike on Iran, was it a bold foreign policy move or a blatant violation of the Constitution? On this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we bring in Dr. Casey Dominguez, political science professor and author of Commander in Chief, to give a definitive answer. Spoiler: It was unconstitutional, illegal, and impeachable. Dr. Dominguez breaks down how presidential war powers were designed by the Founders, why Congress, not the president, holds the power to initiate military conflict, and how Trump’s actions ignored the law with zero justification.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to hold their ground in political conversations and for everyone who wants to understand how dangerously thin the legal ice has become. We also dive into what Congress should be doing, how partisan dysfunction is eroding checks and balances, and why the American people must not stay silent. This isn’t just a Trump problem. It’s a democracy problem. And we are way past the point of pretending it didn’t happen.
