Apparently you didn’t read Alexander Hamilton and his views:

“The President is to be Commander and Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same as that of the King of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the land and naval forces. . . ; while that of the British King extends to the declaring of war and to the raising and regulating of fleets and armies; all of which by the Constitution would appertain of the legislature.”

Last time I checked he was one of the Founders.

Try again. I can do this all day.

Great to see you delve a little deeper.

However you reading comprehension needs work.

You seemed to be hung up on the declaration of war. Last time that happened was 1941.

Yet, we’ve been to Korea, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, Irag/Kuwait, Irag etc.

Has Congress’ powermongers made any serious attempt to legally stop this? No. Because the President has authority to use the military.

The reason you state you “can do this all day”, is that you have no intellectual conscience nor ability to reason effectively.

So, you will just flail away with statements that aren’t really proving much, but how dense your thought process is.
