By extension, why would ANY Congress waste their time discussing and passing FISA, etc.? Nixon committed his crimes "in time of war" yet Congress later passed FISA to prevent such abuses. Didn't they know that Nixon had unlimited powers? Why did Congress revise parts of FISA after 9/11? Didn't they know that King George had unlimited powers?
I think I know why. Because the "unlimited powers" claim is nonsense. Otherwise they would have been used hundreds of times in U.S. history--whenever the U.S. was engaged in any kind of armed conflict. And I'm sure some Presidents would have purposely started an armed conflict just so they could have these unlimited powers (something Bushco may also be guilty of). Did Reagan have unlimited powers during the invasion of Grenada? Did Clinton have unlimited powers during the bombing of Serbia? Why didn't they use them or at least make it known that they had such powers?
