*************************

The Constitution, Roscoe.

Congress is charged with deciding if our nation should go to war. There is no provision for delegating the power to make war to the Executive. War is a legislative decision.

Our elected representatives decide if we, as a people, should go to war. It isn't a subject for ONE MAN to decide.

If Congress passed the Exodus War Powers Act, conferring the power to decide whether to go to war on me, you would agree that they don't have the Constitutional authority to delegate that power to me.

It illegal for Congress to GIVE that power to any man, not even if that man is the President.
