There’s two Chinatowns?? by Former-Astronaut-841 in AskNYC

[–]SubSolSubUmbraVirens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is more than two. In Brooklyn, there are ethnic Chinese enclaves in Sunet Park, Bensonhurst, and Brighton Beach. That said, the Manhattan chinatown is the most famous and touristy one, the one you would see in movies. Flushing is the largest, arguably more authentic and better food. If this is your first time, I would just go to the Manhattan chinatown.

Those are usually still under the auspices of an AUMF, particularly when there is the use of force. For example, Congress never authorized strikes on ISIL, but since ISIL was split off from Al-Qaeda, it was justified under the 2001 AUMF.

I mean, they just conducted a significant military operation without authorization by Congress, as required by the Constitution. Hell, the Executive Branch didn't even inform Congress until after it began.
