There's another thing not in the Constitution ~ that the federal government protects the nation's border.

What?

From Article IV, Section 4:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;

Mind you, I am, as I stated in my first post, profoundly disturbed by this manifestation of new-age warfare. AC probably made the thing moot by suggesting that the evidence is strong that the fellow was not a U.S. citizen, but in fact I’m beginning to find your suggestion persuasive, if I may paraphrase: in the case of a U.S. citizen in a similar regard, a treason trial is very much in order. I don’t think the prosecution would have a great deal of trouble finding two witnesses, and I would have to wonder if the accused’s own public statements might not constitute open admission in court, but those are issues for lawyers and are essentially irrelevant in discussing this as a matter of policy. Bearing in mind I’ve just put words in your mouth, if I understand them correctly I’ll have to concede the point.

But does it actually say "border" as in "national border"?

Try finding the word "border".

[muawiyah]

While you are searching for "border" and "national border" or "border of the United States" think about a day in the not too distant future when the Chinese "Uninorkalon Corporation" LENR fleet attempts to muscle in on the USA LENR quadronium mining operation on Vesta by blasting half the colony into atomic nuclei.

Congress decides enough is enough and declares war on China for not having reined in its Pirates.

So, what form is required for that particular declaration of war, and where are the borders? How are they described.

BTW, nobody wants to undercut the existing detente on Earth-surface that keeps the nukes in their sheaths.
