Authorization to use military force does not constitute a declaration of war as per the US constitution.

Of course, it does.

That's been a spurious argument for, what, twelve years now.

I dont believe it is spurious.

It’s not a declaration of war. A declaration of war looks like what Congress passed in 1941 against Germany and Japan.

Notice it wasn’t an “Authorization for use of force under the War Powers Act”.

Also the AUMF is specifically aimed at those responsible for 9/11.

It’s a bit tenuous to be using it to drone villages in Pakistan and Yemen to kill suspected terrorists and many children who are collateral damage and who weren’t even born on 9/11 which is what King Obama is doing.
