Military seizure of foreign vessel without congressional authorization represents severe separation of powers violation (5.0) - unilateral executive military action in international waters. Rule of law concerns (4.0) around legal authority for asset seizure and potential violations of international maritime law. Violence driver (3.0) reflects military force deployment. Enforcement_action mechanism adds 1.3x modifier for direct executive power projection. International scope with narrow population (1.2x) reflects action against specific vessel but with broad precedential implications. Severity multipliers: high precedent (1.3) for future unilateral military actions, moderate durability (1.2) as action creates fait accompli, slight reversibility (0.9) as vessel can be returned. B-score elevated by novelty (8) of peacetime vessel seizure, media friendliness (9) of dramatic military action, and outrage bait (7). Layer 2 shows pattern match (7) with administration's Venezuela policy and mismatch (6) between action scale and stated objectives. Intentionality moderate (8) given theatrical announcement style. D-score of +10.37 places at Mixed threshold - genuine constitutional concern with significant hype amplification.
