The Delaware senator, who voted in 2002 to authorize military intervention in Iraq, said he was working to repeal the authorization and to replace it with "a much narrower mission statement for our troops in Iraq."

Congress should make clear the mission is to draw down U.S. forces in Iraq while continuing to combat terrorists, train Iraqis and respond to emergencies, he said.

Biden needs to be reminded that the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces -- not Congress. Congress has no business defining the mission statement for our troops in Iraq or anywhere else.

Better yet - to repeal that authority - uhm - Doesn't the President have to sign it???

I don't see that happening anytime soon.

To the extent that the War Powers Act is facially unConstitutional, of course you are correct.

However, any act that Congress is capable of enacting, it can repeal.
