Seeing that Zero has set up military action against US citizens, with authorization to occur on his say-so alone

Not to hijack this into a Civil War thread, but this is exactly what A. Lincoln did in 1861. And quite rightly too.

There was an emergency, and Congress could not be reassembled in time to address the situation.

When in an emergency, it is entirely right and proper for the executive authority to take emergency action.
