Are you saying you think its okay/legal to deceive the public when you want to start a war? I don't think it's ok. I think it might be legal. It doesn't have to be illegal. While not an attorney, I think a case can be made that it falls under high crimes and misdemeanors, a provision that is intentionally vague in order to allow all kinds of transgressions. That means it doesn't have to be a literal violation of criminal law but rather something that justifies impeachment in order to remove a president who is acting inappropriately. "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". house.gov "The charge of high crimes and misdemeanours covers allegations of misconduct that do not fall under a more clearly defined impeachable offence; eg. high treason. This charge only occurs in cases of parliamentary impeachment and is unrelated to any offence in criminal law". en.wikipedia.org ted
