Where were they the last 241 years while presidents did whatever they wanted to? Exactly! It was just fine when all the others did whatever they wanted.
And btw, with all due respect to the Founders, with today's 24/7 news cycle and the Internet, going through a lengthy debate in Congress just gives everyone an advance warning. It is a fine line. We don't want a dictator, but we also benefit from the element of surprise.

They are conflating “use of force” and “declaration of war”.
If we have to depend on Congress for anything we are done for.....looking for ‘Korean Fluency in 7 Days’ now.....

It must be the ‘Calvinball’ Clause; it only applies when Republicans are President.

One supposes they've never heard of Korea, Beirut, Bay of Pigs, the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Lebanon, Panama, Kuwait, Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, .....
It's a disturbing list if one has any regard for the Republic. But for treasonous bastards like the sewage who inhabit the ACLU to try and refer to the Constitution is way beyond the Pale.

Aren’t we still technically at war with N. Korea?
We never declared war in Korea. That's when this nonsense began.
They ACLU is right. Of course, they never would've said this 2009-2017 or 1993-2001.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) warned President Trump on Tuesday that only Congress can authorize a military strike on North Korea . . . No. Only Congress can declare war, but the Commander-in-Chief is in charge of our military. Thank God it's President Trump rather than the Community-Organizer-in-Chief we finally got rid of after eight terrible years!

Ok, so we need to wait until San Francisco is wiped off the face of the earth by a nuclear blast before we can do anything. Got it

Actually it got real distorted in the last 50 years.
Why heck, a declaration of war was actually made for WW2.

And only the ACLU doesn’t know how to read the Constitution.

Someone needs to remind the monnbats at the ACLU that Donald Trump, the president, is the Commander in Chief, not the Congress.
