In 1827, the Supreme Court settled a question most Americans have never thought to ask:
Who decides when America is in a state of “insurrection”?
Their answer: The authority “belongs exclusively to the President.” And his decision is “conclusive.”
In other words …
We don’t need a vote from Congress.
Or a sign-off from a judge.
This summer …
One man – Donald Trump — could overrule every other branch of government — including the all-powerful “Deep State.”
It may seem impossible.
But history shows …
Meanwhile, his rivals are gearing up for a fight.
Democrat attorneys general say they’ll attack Trump in court if he dares to use this power.
But Jim Rickards — a former adviser to four presidents, the CIA, and the Pentagon — says they will soon find out they’re wasting their breath.
History shows he could be right, because the age-old ruling behind Trump’s actions has never been overturned.
It could all come to a head within weeks this summer …
Tipping American politics … and even the financial system into a meltdown unlike any we’ve seen in a century.
Rickards’ free briefing is here.
