[Deplorable Yankee]

That was the last time Congress wrote a declaration of war. NINETEEN FOURTY TWO.
How many wars have we been involved with since? You people only ***** about "mUh cOnGrEsS" when its the "other side" doing the crap.
You are all so disingenuous it is nauseating.

The Last Formal Declaration of War - JSTOR Daily

The last time Congress formally declared war was in World War II.

Delegation of powers is not in the constitution. Anywhere. Jefferson spoke of it, but he was also referring to non legislative power. Guess what declarations of war is?
You guys don't really care about the constitution. At all.
Real liberalism is dead.
Real conservatism is dead.
Neoconservatism is alive and well.

I don't think we're going to be in Iran for 20 years...

I'm for helping the Iranian people they could be a great force in the Middle East... A force for some moderation

They should have hammered them a few weeks ago when they were rioting......

The shah would probably be home by now

 

[dblack]

The outrage is justified whether it's hypocritical or not.

Maybe. But the hypocrisy makes the complaints easy to dismiss as partisan whining.

A state too docile to be an impediment for Israel, that is the only metric of importance.

 

[Nostra]

I always ***** about military intervention, you retarded dumbfuck.
In fact, I have already proven this to you once, when your ***** ass was like, "wElL wHaT aBoUt oBAma? "

Sure you have.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

A state too docile to be an impediment for Israel, that is the only metric of importance.

Yeah I don't think they're that docile

A violently overthrown by a lefty islamic alliance that went full Islamic after the Lefty useful idiots were no longer needed
returned back to a secular state will be a huge win for the region and the planet...

 

[Nostra]

Lol, look at this cucck deflecting for neocons.
And this retard calls himself a "conservative"

Pointing out your hypocrisy has nothing to do with "neocons", or how conservative I am, Simp.

 

[Chuz Life]

Because they made shit up.
The constitution is very clear who has war authority.

It's not as clear as you seem to think it is.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to authorize war.

The Constitution does not forbid that power to the President.

Furthermore. . Where does the Constitution get it's power and authority from?

Hint; We the People.

 

[MisterBeale]

Bit ch, you guys have been like this for decades. Get real. For once in your life.

To my recollection, Truman's OP ed to the WaPo which the CIA had them suppress after the morning edition, and which is now damn near impossible to find, JFK calling this corruption out, and woah, this was a surprise, Senator Dianne Feinstein dropping truth?

. . . these are about the only times the Democrats showed any concern on this issue.

 

[TNHarley]

Pointing out your hypocrisy has nothing to do with "neocons", or how conservative I am, Simp.

I like how you refuse to back up your assertion. You know, the one that everyone knows is BS

 

[TNHarley]

Sure you have.

Your horrible memory goes along with your abject stupidity.

It doesnt forbid that the president has the power to shoot 4th graders visiting the lincoln memorial.
Does that mean he can? Of course not.
They put enumerated powers in the constitution for a reason.

Always does, every damn time.

Ending the impediment to Israel is the only reason for this nonsense.

Yup.

And now those psychopaths are actually threatening NATO. wtf?

The Constitution does not forbid that power to the President.

You cannot prove a negative.

Any power not expressed in the document doesn't exist.

There is no need to prove the negative when we've already seen the evidence to support the idea in practice for decades now.

It looks like you think there are Constitutional grounds to impeach Trump over this.

Are you also thinking the "gang of eight" should be impeached and prosecuted as well?

The White House says Secretary of State Marco Rubio tried to contact the Gang of Eight before the strike on Iran. Here's a closer look at what that means. (AP Photo)

I don't discount the point you are trying to make. When time permits, I would like to see military actions and deployments pass a Congressional Muster. However, we should all know how that would only result in too many cases where (during that politicization) - even more innocents are targeted and killed by our self-declared "enemies."

"While this interbranch debate remains active, other questions concerning the Declare War Clause have been settled by longstanding practice and judicial opinions. For example, the Supreme Court has recognized that Congress need not issue a formal declaration of war to authorize the United States to engage in military action.7 Congress also can, by statute, authorize the President to use force within defined parameters that do not rise to the level of a general declaration of war.8

The United States has issued declarations of war against eleven countries during five conflicts, but it has not formally declared war since World War II.9 As a result, statutory authorizations have become the predominant method for Congress to permit military action since the Second World War.10"

I might ad that in the current environment, success can't be achieved when one party would either leak information before an operation or would purposely refuse to pass a war powers resolution just to spite the other side for political reasons. Congress is about the worst entity on the planet for keeping a secret.
