Obama doesn’t have the constitutional authority to declare wars but he has the legal authority (allegedly) to start wars. get it?
You’re like a liberal Supreme Court justice — twisting the constitution’s language to your liking. Congress was given authority to declare war, because — as Madison wrote in the Federalist papers — the president shouldn’t be allowed to launch wars (start wars, in your lingo) on his own. That’s what kings do, and the American Revolution and the Constitution were to free us from monarchy.
I was being sarcastic. those are fighting words partner.
