“If we are to go to war w/ Iran the Constitution dictates that we declare war. A war without a Congressional declaration is a recipe for feckless intermittent eruptions of violence w/ no clear mission for our soldiers,”

He's correct, of course. Doesn't mean people here are going to like hearing it.

Yes, he’s correct, but who in Congress adheres to our “Constitution?”

So for every military action we need to run by congress a formal declaration of war?

Oh please. People just need to be clear that they are chickens*it over this dude being hit, and stop trying to hide behind the constitution to lodge that position.

“feckless”

That word has been painfully overused in public pronouncements over the past 12 months. Is it the new “F-word”? It doesn’t make sense here.

Yes, he is correct in the legal sense.

The problem we have now, though, is that the Democrats have created a scenario where they are more concerned with their own political power than with the national security of the United States. They are reflexively opposing anything and everything the president does for political purposes.

Should Trump fail to act because the political winds prevent him from doing so? Even at the cost of American lives?

We are now facing the true crisis brought about by the partisanship of the Democrats.
