Sorry, I was searching.

Thanks, your link is better than what I found on the "Authorization of Force against Iraq."

I can't think, Texasforever. Time for bed.

To give you an idea of what I'm thinking, (paraphrazed) "no provision of this Authorization superseded any provision of the War Powers Act;" the War Powers Act says that the reporting requirements don't apply after a Declaration of War; and the Authorization requires reporting as specified in the War Powers Act.

I might be wrong about that, but I can't read anymore.

Goodnight, all.

Um, remember also that I believe that the War Powers Act is illegal, in that it gives the President leave to have "small" wars on his own, without Congressional authorization.
