"That the state of war between the United States and the Government of Iraq is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against theGovernemnt of Iraq; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States.
All the resources of the country are hereby pledged.
That is the one thing the Commander-in-Chief cannot do. Only We the People, acting through our Representatives in Congress assembled, can do so.
As we should.
Actually by my reading it does say that, just not in so many words.
All the resources of the country are hereby pledged. That is the one thing the Commander-in-Chief cannot do. Only We the People, acting through our Representatives in Congress assembled, can do so. As we should.
Point taken.
