no "statute can place any limits on the President's determinations" as "these decisions, under our Constitution, are for the President alone to make."

If congress can pass laws constraining the presidency then we would no longer have a balance of power. How ignorant are these libs?

Does this mean congress cannot intervene? No. It means congress would use its powers to fund or its power to impeach.

No need for 'laws'. The President has few powers, Congress is the one with the many enumerated powers, many of those setting the rules of the military, etc.
