I’m not agreeing with Kaine but I do believe that Congress should declare war when we are going to commit troops or carry out an an offensive act against a country that is not in the process of threatening the USA. The Constitution is not just a piece of paper and Congress needs to do their job of oversight.

You sometimes can’t wait on Congress or risk leaks on military operations such as this was...

What Trump did was not against the Constitution...Consider the War Powers Act...

The lazy bums in Congress are only working 8 days this month. It’s hard to see them doing their “job” anywhere. Requiring a POTUS to herd those cats any time they want to use force will result in permanent gridlock.
