Dudziak in Vox: Trump's recklessness magnifies military's political power
CNN reports Gen. John Hyten said he would resist any illegal orders from President Donald Trump--or any president--to launch nuclear weapons. "He'll tell me what to do, and if it's illegal, guess what's going to happen?" Hyten said at a security forum. "I'm gonna say, 'Mr. President, that's illegal.'" Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law Professor Mary Dudziak tells Vox: "The military is restraining the civilian leadership rather than the other way around."
