So if the Legislative is not allowed to cede its own powers, it definitely has no powers to infringe on the enumerated powers of the executive.

One element of Meese's argument is the grant of war-making powers to the President, by Congress.

Congress authorized this fight. After that, it is up to the President to carry it out.

If Congress disagrees with how the President is doing such, they can always rescind that power.

But what was the last vote on the war? Something like 400 to 3? They all talk big but they won't vote to back their talk.

Which makes them a bunch of slimy-assed weasels.
