Constitution says "Declare War", not "resolution of force"."

Does the Constitution says what form the declaration must take? Or the wording it must contain? NO

But the fact that Congress rejected Paul's rider to make it a declaration indicates that they knew their's wasn't - otherwise they had NO reason to reject Paul's rider making it an official Constitutional declaration.

Now people like Hillary can play both sides. She can say she was against the war and against Bush even though she voted to give Bush dictatorial powers to wage unlimited war. If she had to vote on an actual declaration, she'd be accountable for her vote one way or the other.

Then why was "Resolution of Force" used instead of "Declare War"?
