The Constitution states that Congress is responsible for declaring war, not the President. Until detailed U.S. reports are made available to Congress Paul will have to make do with what is available. In other words he doesn't just take the word of the Administration, unlike many sheeples on this site.

Show me where the Constitution says the president may not defend this country without a declaration of war frm Congress.

"Show me where the Constitution says the president may not defend this country without a declaration of war frm Congress."

"Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;..."

"To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;"
