When we are in power is precisely the time to man up and start following the rule of law. Because once the socialists return, it’s a heavy restraint on them
War Powers Act is also the Rule of Law. Every tactical strike on a limited, defined target is not a declaration of war. Such an ad hoc action can degenerate into a de facto war, and that’s where the War Powers Act comes in. Pancho Villa’s border raids were not responded to with a declaration, but an expedition. Neither were the strikes on Khadaffy. All perfectly legal.
