But part of what concerns me, right, and I think other people, is that he seems to be catching this regime change bug.

You know, even after the operation in Venezuela, he threatened the president of Colombia.

He threatened to go into Cuba.

He's talking again about Greenland.

It feels like this might not be the last one.

And that raises the question of what can be done to stop or slow this down.

Talk a little bit about what your effort might do to at least try to insert Congress into this mix so it's harder for Trump to kind of keep running this play again and again in other countries.

Yeah.

And well, there's another piece of this that I was wondering about, too, which is the war powers would try to constrain his capacity to do this, at least without Congress.

You mentioned the billions of dollars it would cost to do what he's talking about doing in Venezuela.

Like that oil infrastructure is dilapidated.

It's fallen in disrepair.

Yeah.

It's a multi-billion dollar.

Where's that money going to come from?

Usually, I mean, I remember being in the White House.

I'm not voting for that.

Well, that's the question, though.

Do you have any, because even this operation and all these deployments must have cost money.

I mean, is there some capacity for Congress to try to figure out using its power of the purse?
