An indictment of a US official, even if never taken to trial, would be a good first step. It’s not so abstract when you’re charged with war crimes, is it?

I think it would affect them more, they would be afraid to leave the US for the rest of their lives.

yeah, let them do it. it’d be a hoot.
That act grants the president the power to bypass congress in that specific scenario, but they still have to have the gonads to do it.
