So paying the Barbary Pirates is Constitutional...using our military force against them wasn’t?

Were we disobeying the “Constitution” in WWII?

What about the War of 1812? The War with Mexico in 1847?

What about Pershing’s Expedition?

The Barbary pirates declared war on us, they were properly handled.

WWII we had a Congressional declaration of war.

The War of 1812 had a Congressional declaration of war.

The Mexican American war had a Congressional declaration of war.

Pershing’s expedition wasn’t a war against a nation, but a romp into Mexico to find Pancho Villa. That would be akin to US military covert ops going into foreign nations to find terrorists, which I support.

Need anymore history?
