Trump wants an "American Iron Dome." Experts say that's ridiculous.
A central campaign promise, the building of an over two trillion dollar missile shield would be costly, ineffective, and unnecessary.

But such a move would stand against a principle governing international relations since the end of WWII — that borders cannot be changed by force.

It is important to recognize that a president who takes bribes and a Congress that lets that slide was itself a Constitutional crisis.
Banning bribery was so important, the Founders had the Constitution forbid it three times, including as the only directly named impeachable offense besides treason.
