Tweets for orders?

Sat., Jan. 18, 2020

You have got to be kidding me! Tweets are now considering by POTUS to be an acceptable way to let Congress know of impending military action? Regardless of the War Powers act of 1973? Government by tweet?

Hey, I have a super idea … maybe he could just tweet the State of the Union and save us all some time and money. Oops, forgot. This is a man who likes a spectacle as much as a tweet.
