I admit I'd not looked at the Constitution in this light, but, it does stand to reason. I remember from the Obama campaign when I started to really look at where we are as a Country, and my oldest son, recently Honorably discharged from the Navy (as I was many years ago) made the statement one day when we were talking about Romney and Obama; this Country, the United States is not what we've been led to believe it is.
The following might be a good idea as to why we aren't.
In current times, what is heard ad nauseum, are silly pronouncements by so-called “representatives of the people,” and pompous asses in the media that something is unconstitutional, but what does this even mean? Considering the convoluted and vague language, the massive powers given to government, and the fact that appointed agents of the very politicians that abuse it interpret it, there is not even any semblance of honesty present. Add the ever-increasing tyrannical powers now claimed by the executive branch, and the entirety of this constitutional process is nothing more than a farce. But then, was this not always the case?
In today’s news, given the brutal and murderous wars and assassinations taking place at the hands of the U.S. war machine, the Congress is voting on its own war powers, powers already in place. Interestingly, the Constitution states that only Congress can declare war, so that same body voting on resolutions that are already solidified in their precious constitution is absolutely asinine.
