Scott Anderson, a scholarship holder in Governance Studies at The Brooking’s Institution Think Tank, said that the determination paved the way for a legal dispute if the executive tries to withdraw the USA unilaterally from alliance.
“Logic is essentially a struggle when the president tries to do this without the congress. It expressly leads this kind of prohibition and says that we essentially express this and bring it to the Supreme Court if they try to do what the congress is,” Anderson told Fox News Digital.
Nevertheless, Anderson found that it was not entirely clear who would be legally correct to question an attempt to withdraw from NATO, although Anderson said that members or persons who own property in the NATO countries are some who could stand and could question the move.
