If the president circumvents congress and declares war on another country, say Mexico, that would be an official act and they would be immune. They could fire nukes without repercussions.

I really hate to quote Roberts, but circumventing congress wouldn't be "within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority", would it?

Oh, there would be repercussions.
