"The question everyone needs to ask is: What about a liberal Dem administration? "

Why? You think the Constitution should be amended then?

"FRIDAY AUGUST 17th. IN CONVENTION
...Mr. MADISON and Mr. GERRY moved to insert "declare," striking out "make" war; leaving to the Executive the power to repel sudden attacks.
Mr. SH[E]RMAN thought it stood very well. The Executive shd. be able to repel and not to commence war."

No, you living constitutionalists never want to amend the Constitution- you just want to ignore it.

Given that you didn't quote any part of the document, you've yet to make a point about the Constitution.

Kind of odd that you'd consider an offhand statement at the convention that was never meant to be published, to trump the 4th amendment as well as a specific act of Congress.
