You see to have forgotten that part where the President is authorized to call up the militia to repel invasions and supress domestic disturbances...

...launching a war...requires a declaration of war by congress.

Calling something “preemptive” doesn’t change the fact that it is an offensive move and an act of war.

Fine.

Well let Iran touch off a nuke, then we will get congress to vote.

Just curious, just who votes for war if the nuke wipes out congress?

Do we have elections first so we will have a congress to vote for war?

Here's a better one for you.

What is the President suppose to do if members of congress are collaborating with the enemy, and there isn't enough votes to go to war?

Does the President simply allow the country to be attacked in that case?
