" However, in every instance since the act was passed, the President has requested and received authorization for the use of force (though not a formal declaration of war) consistent with the provisions of the resolution. "

.....Great thread.....

*   My son in Southern California keeps asking when I will fly down to visit and I tell him, "When I do not have to take my shoes off."

*  When asked for ID I show my:  United States Uniformed Services Identification Card, DD FORM 2, (RETIRED).
