Whether you think that move was wise or not, it was a full-blown war with no declaration of war from Congress.

You’re forgetting we live in a different age here, while (more than) half of those corrupt vermin in Congress don’t have the IQ to tell their asses from their elbows - and EVERY single person on Team RAT is either corrupt or irredeemably mentally ill. Personally, I don’t WANT those dim-wits having the power to declare war. I don’t want them having power of ANY kind.

Perhaps an historian here will correct me, but I suspect that has always been the case. Yes, some Congressmen in the past were true statesmen. But many more of them were corrupt beyond belief.
Nevertheless, the Founders set up Congress to be a check on the president. That was a wise move.
Side point: Perhaps the Founders should have set up Congress more like the British Parliament. There seems to be a bit less corruption and idiocy over there (no Maxine Waters).
