The Silence of the Hams
A president shouldn't be allowed to send people into war unless they have been in one themselves. Or possibly unless a real bonified legit genuine threat is imminent, and only then can they defend, not attack (unless the person sending them in has been in a war themselves). In fact, the further away that they have ever been from war, the less they should be allowed. If they dodged war while thousands died, they should be the frontline in any war that they declare.
Well, the law is that he has to get it approved by Congress, but he's completely ignored that law and done it anyway with zero material pushback from the government. So any additional checks and balances would probably be equally pointless. Especially when this sort of action is secretly what the Dems want as well. They may not agree with the manner, but they certainly support the objective, which is securing US capital and the petrodollar.
I'll do you one better.
The President, and any senators who vote for a war, must kill their eldest child for their vote to count.
Then as a corrupt politician, I'd adopt a few kids before having any of my own, have a nanny raise them - and then use their lives as downpayment to start the war Israel, Lockheed, etc - bribed me to start.

“Your rich leaders grow richer while you are dying in a swamp G.I. They will give you a medal G.I. But only after you are dead. Your government lies to you every day, poor soldier. You have lost this war, G.I. Your army will leave you behind. Imperialists made you fight this war, G.I. They do not care about you. G.I. your government has betrayed you. They will not return for you, G.I.”
Tehran Terry, we need you now more than ever. "you're going to die for Israel, GI. their soldiers are busy protecting settlers from farmers while you die for them here. poor soldier!"
"peter thiel is drinking your child's blood at home while you're here getting targeted by his drones"
Iran was close with this one but I'd call it a miss. A controller emoji+crying laughing emoji would have done more with less right here.
And if they had to get fancy with it something more like 🎮😂🎥💥⚰️☢️☢️☢️😏
No I actually love this. The text is meh but #MACIGA is so funny that any lay up is good enough
