I see you've answered 'Duke' on his word-gaming claim that:

"-- THE POWER TO DECLARE WAR, is unlimited. Other powers of Congress may be limited, but HOW Congress chooses to DECLARE WAR is NOT. --"

It's amusing to note that he previously made the flat out claim of an "unlimited" congressional power, -- but now modifies that to "HOW" they choose to "DECLARE", which is a point never really in contention.

Well done.

Really? The relevent part of this discussion has been about whether Congress had to issue a Declaration of War in order to Declare War. Are you saying this was not a discussion about HOW Congress was to exercise this power?
