Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress. The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of the House on Thursday and is expected to be signed by President Biden.

I suppose he could order the US military to physically leave NATO bases, and physically eject NATO allied personnel from American bases.

It would be up to officers to recognized that as an illegal order and deify it.

I, for one, hope they don't deify illegal orders.
