It is obvious that the Founding Fathers couldn't even fathom the idea of going to war against an enemy who attacked America without Congress making a formal war declaration.

Who were the Presidents and Vice Presidents from 1795-1815? They ALL did.

Hooray! ( I was beginning to think no one counted the first undeclared war: the Quasi-war with France.)

Heck, the US Marines were reconstituted to fight it and it had two amphibious landings. But all anybody talks about is the "Barbery Pirates".
