First and foremost, we must follow the Constitution and require that the President secure a congressional declaration of war

My question to Mr. Paul is this: Where does the Constitution require a declaration of war? It provides for Congress to declare war, but I don't see where it requires the Executive to get a declaration. And apparantly, most other folks don't see it either. Someone show me where I am wrong.

You're asking the wrong guy, I've been arguing that point for a long time. But you knew that. :-}

How's married life treating you?

"My question to Mr. Paul is this: Where does the Constitution require a declaration of war?"

Article I, Section 8 of the United States Consitution.

"It provides for Congress to declare war, but I don't see where it requires the Executive to get a declaration."

What would be the point of this provision if it didn't require the Executive to get a declaration?
