This weekend’s episode of our nationally syndicated radio show/podcast, America@250:Due Diligence, begins with one of the nation’s first overseas conflicts. When Thomas Jefferson refused the demands of the Pasha of Tripoli, he sent the young US Navy into combat against the Barbary powers—without requesting a formal declaration of war. Congress knew about the campaign, financed it and allowed it to continue, establishing an early precedent for presidential military action supported through congressional acquiescence. https://open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/p/the-power-of-war?r=1g77q&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
