No, but he could deploy troops for up to 60 days.
He won't, of course, because Biden is a coward who is intent on damaging as many countries fighting authoritarian regimes as possible.
That could be a creative solution. Order troops to deploy and then order them immediately back.
"Oh, no, there's not enough time to ship everything back. I guess you'll have to leave your equipment behind."
That one is not even really about timing; it's simply cheaper to just leave the equipment there.
Let’s be clear and dispel all that stupid Joe Pesci bullshit.
The president can deploy whatever for however long they want. Bush proved it. 60 days is yesterday’s pearls to clutch and if you truly believe that rule you’re in the wrong country.
FFS if the pres violates the 60 days rule what mechanism exists to enforce it or punish the president?
If Congress decides to throw its weight around, 60 days is the limit. Not that it particularly matters, considering 60 days is more than Biden has left anyway.
No if congress decides to throw its weight around they can recommend or advocate but according to the Supreme Court there is no legal remedy. Subpoenas have even shown to be toothless these past few years…
The president is acting in their official capacity and at that point no one on earth has a legal remedy to rein that in.
Yes I ended that sentence in a preposition, I’m president go fuck yourself and try to arrest me.
No mechanism anymore.
