Well...Biden was right in 1998...not so much today. I wonder what’s changed?

The Constitution grants to Congress the power to declare war. However, the President has some limited powers to call the military into action. Biden's position in his previous statement was that even those limited powers granted to the President by the Constitution are subject to the permission of Congress - in essence creating 535 mini-commanders-in-chief over the actual CIC.

Has anyone heard from Biden on our involvement in Libya? He’s probably being told not to talk about it. Maybe he’d accidentally say the same thing by ‘accident’. Boy, that would be good.
