102. Imminent danger is the rule.
Imminent means immediate military force would be applied against the United States.

Outside of that he must seek a declaration of war from Congress.

People's phone conversations do not constitute an immediate military threat. The constitute free speech.

The President MUST get a warrant to listen in that's the law. By your standards what keeps the President from declaring his political opponents as a "military threat" so he can listen in?
