Barbara Lee is the Chief of State and supreme lawmaker of the United States?

Look, both the dems and the GOP support this definition of Executive powers.   If the dems decide to buck the Obama legacy on Executive decisions for war, then let them win the next election and they can make it the law of the land.  

I actually hope that happens.   Given their mania about Russia, I'm a  bit concerned that a dem president might start WWIII.
