In case of war privilieges, your president can act as a dictator. At least the first 90 days, unless he finds a way to reset those days.

Well, as long as they’re poor free market democracies, it’s a mulligan, right? Bonus points if you use special ops or intelligence agencies to kick it off so it doesn’t count as a war.
