Pence for President then. Still seem like a bright side?

Brighter than Trump.

Say what you will about Pence, but I don't think he's likely to start WWIII over someone making mean tweets about him.

you realize that the president on his or her own cannot start a war?

NAYRT

You do realize that the president can send troops into war without it being a formally declared war because he/she (although looking likely to be he) is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the US, right?

"The United States has not formally declared war since World War II. Under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has sole power "to declare war [and] grant letters of marque and reprisal." But Article II, Section 2 provides that "The president shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." While it's clear that the Framers intended for Congress alone to declare war, presidents don't always check with Congress before acting. After President Harry Truman bypassed Congress to go to war in Korea, presidents have paid almost no attention to the constitutional requirements."

Then you have the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force law.
"Authorization for Use of Military Force - Authorizes the President to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations, or persons."

"The AUMF was signed by President George W. Bush on September 18, 2001. As of December 2015, the AUMF provides Congressional authorization for the use of force against ISIS and other Islamic militant groups."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists

"Today, a decade and a half later, the Obama administration argues that the authorization continues to apply to U.S. military actions in Afghanistan. Also, that it applies in Iraq, in Syria, and beyond — including the ongoing air campaign in Libya, against ISIS — a group that did not exist 15 years ago."

So, yeah, I'm super worried about a Commander In Chief Trump.

I would be marginally more okay with that.
