How many acts of war against us does he have to commit before he gets evaluated the same way that any of our other enemies get evaluated?

If Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, then Congress is obligated to impeach him. The military can have no role in removing a sitting President.

Again, maybe you didn’t get to the post where I explained that I am not talking about the military removing a sitting President. I’m talking about the military detaining an enemy combatant to prevent them from being able to inflict serious harm on the country.

Does the NDAA authorize the military to do that - to detain enemy combatants to keep them from inflicting serious harm, as indicated by previous actions/connections/stated intentions/ associations, etc that fit objective, pre-determined criteria for an enemy combatant?

If Obama had blown up Washington, DC with a nuke, would somebody have had the authority to arrest him after the fact? If so, who? Would somebody have had the authority to DETAIN him if they knew in advance that he planned to blow up DC? If so, who?

If not, then how does Congress impeach somebody when they’ve already been blown to bits by the guy they authorized the military to detain in order to protect the country but the military refused because they might look “political” to the media - some portion of which also got blown up?
