No. I was just referring to the President despatching American troops all over the place wherever it suits him without a formal declaration of war.

Even still, I'm against the War Powers Act. Whenever Congress gets involved everything becomes a negotiation, that's how you end up with, "you can go, but you can't bomb" or something like that. The Congress should have no say in how the Military performs and should only have the power to declare war. If they don't like what he's doing then cut off his money.

It's a lot of power, but it keeps our Military able to act in their own best interest, which is why you don't elect an admitted drug using, un-vetted community organizer to the most Powerful Office on the planet!
