A declaration of war is not necessary.

Bull. Show me where in the constitution it says that.

Bull. Show me where in the constitution it says that.

This is a result of the war powers act that was slapped on Nixon.

A statuatory authorization for the use of force is appropriate under the act.

SOme people are dissonant, cognitively speaking. No shame in that.

Perhaps you will show us SPECIFICALLY where the Constitution REQUIRES Congress to declare war.

Take all the time you need, and I mean that quite lierally.

Oh, gee, it's something about the Congress being given the power to declare wars. It does not say the Congress must declare war before we're allowed to kick the humus outta the rag-heads. (Does that sound intolerant?)
