Levin is trying to bass a amendment to a defense Bill now.

Does the Constitution give Congress the authority to execute wars?

I am under the understanding that Congress votes for wars and then they fund them. I am under the understanding that the President listens to his Generals and makes decisions.

Something change around here? How can Congress pass laws the effect the execution of a war?

Seems to me that Congress is stepping over their boundries set by the Constitution.

Don't we have a separation of powers?
