There is no war against AQ.

Just because you assert there is one doesn’t mean there is.

Congress hasn’t declare a war for 60 years...

They passed an authorization for use of force against Terrorists responsible for 9/11 in 2001 and another one for the Iraq invasion.

That’s it.

AQ isn’t mentioned anywhere... There is no war against them.

And I believe the AUMF is a usurpation of power and is being used illegally by the Obama administration to go into countries like Yemen and drone strike villages. There are children being killed with drone strikes who weren’t even born on 9/11

That's great news. My best friend from high school must not really be dead.

You might want to reread the historical record on the meaning of to declare war. it is come to have a second meaning now as a matter of law because it engages the whole series of additional penalties and authorizations of power by the federal government, but in the relevant portion the declaration of or is not required when we are attacked. A declaration of war would be neede if for example we decided to take Mexico. The declaration of war would not need to occur to conduct military actions if Mexico or entities in Mexico attacked us.
