Please don't slander him. He wants a official declaration of War by congress as required by the Constitution.
And he is not privy to the Geopolitical situation until he gets elected as potus.
Apparently if you are a Ron Paul supporter you believe the word "slander" means: "pointing to Ron Paul's record."
He wants a official declaration of War by congress as required by the Constitution.
There is no such Constitutional requirement. Congress is indeed specifically empowered by the Constitution to declare war, but the Constitution does not restrain Congress from authorizing the Executive to pursue warfare at discretion.
And he is not privy to the Geopolitical situation until he gets elected as potus.
What does that even mean? As a member of Congress he is privy to almost all, and is expected to vote on many, geopolitical situations.
He has made his stand clear - he thinks that his own idiosyncratic interpretation of the Constitution has more value than the lives of America's fighting men and women.
You're trying to provide him the flimsiest of excuses for his behavior, but he remains beneath contempt.
> He wants a official declaration of War by congress as required by the Constitution.
It’s presumptuous of Ron Paul to purport to know the Constitution better than John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Adams, Jefferson and Madison all used military force with Congressional authorization.
