Accuracy to a newspaper is what virtue is to a lady; but a newspaper can always print a retraction.
But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, or is not valid. If it is not valid, it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it can not be retracted, any more than the dead can be brought to life.
If you get a President (Hillary) Clinton, you might well find, just as after Vietnam, that there is a retraction from Iraq and of American influence in the world. And in a couple of years the Europeans will be complaining about that too.
Freedom can be destroyed, not just by its retraction, but also by its abuse.
The accusation is always on the first page, and the retraction on page 19.
