Although I'd consider it highly unlikely in any case - what would be the limit on what a US President could do?
Presumably NATO can't deploy US forces without the consent of the Commander in Chief. Could Trump simply reduce US funding to the point NATO became unable to meaningfully function? Since most of them will be buying up American hardware could he cut the supply chains? And presumably he could 'lean on' some smaller members to give political support to his decisions.
I'm sure the military industrial complex won't let any of the above happen - but purely hypothetically.
The language is a bit curious:

the amendment prohibits any funding from being used to do so.
