The President has defined our enemy

And there's the problem. The idea of giving Congress power to declare war means that Congress defines the enemy, not the President. Otherwise there isn't much point in giving Congress that power, is there?

Pardon me....the congess did give him that power, right after 9/11. Get your facts straight, please.

No one has ever said the President can't define our enemy, is that somewhere I don't know about?
