I thought only Congress had the power to "give authorization for invasion."

I'm not suggesting for an INSTANT that Pres. Bush doesn't respect the Constitution. I'm suggesting only that he's taking a responsibility on himself that he doesn't really have to - Congress made the decision, not Pres. Bush.

That would fall to the members of the Supreme Court who believe in a "living" Constitution, who feel they can amend the document based on their ideology, not by the proper amendment process.

Granted, the Incumbency Protection Act (aka CFR) should have never been signed by W...nor should it have been written by Congress. But I think that's a far cry from a "g-d-" piece of paper". And if I recall, a president WAS quoted as saying "'stroke of the pen, law of the land'...cool", and his name wasn't George W. Bush.
