Right. A military appropriation bill cannot be for a period for more than two years. That's not a prohibition against a standing army. Are you suggesting that it is?

Well, I suppose I always considered it a "prohibition" on its face...Are you saying it depends on what the meaning of "is" is?

Seriously, I'm no Constitutional scholar, so I guess I'd have to look into that one a little more.
