As the Attorney General said there are legal, practical, and treaty considerations that are affected by Congress officially declaring war.
They didn’t officially declare war according to the Attorney General and not contested by the Senators before which he was testifying.
Hogwash.
Do you think if someone wanted to disregard a treaty that they would care one way or another if there was a formal declaration of war. I think not.
I don’t know why the AG said what he said, but I think it makes little difference.
I’ve yet to find someone that can tell me the EXACT difference between a formal declaration and what we have now.
