What’s the most credible argument that the current president can’t run for re-election yet can continue with the world’s toughest job for another 100 days?

The argument that 100 days vs. 4 more years is moot if you have another Cuban Missile Crisis in September.

Disagree. One of Biden’s greatest strengths is that he’s put together a capable team. You’re conflating electability with executive capabilities. I’m thinking you probably know those are different things.

It’s called Commander in Chief for a reason? Article II Section II If they wanted to delegate to a team, they would have given the responsibility to Congress.

This is a silly argument though The National Security Act of 1947 created many of the defense capabilities that the label “Commander in Chief” alludes to, including the National Security Council

I guess my reading of the history is different than yours! Because last time I checked, the advisors were advocating for a different outcome.

Huh McNamara and RFK pushed for diplomatic solutions (former after ExComm discussions made him think about consequences of escalation) Which book did you read?
