[QUOTE="CobraKindaGuy, post: 4579933, member: 17748"] [B][U]I hate to break it to you but you are absolutely wrong.[/U][/B] The founders of the US divided war into two separate powers: the Congress was enpowered to declare war. The President was enpowered to wage war. Legally this translates into that the President cannot legally wage war against another nation in the absence of a declaration of war against that nation from Congress. The President is specifically prohibited by the Constiution to wage war unless he first secures a declaration of war from Congress. That is why Woodrow Wilson and F.D. Roosevelt, who both believed that U.S. entering into World Wars I and II was justified, [B][U]had[/U][/B] to wait for a congressional declaration of war before entering the conflict. [B]As for Bush there was a Congressional resolution that granted President Bush the power to wage war against unnamed nations and organizations that Bush had determined were linked to the 9/11 attacks.[/B] That resolution does NOT constitute a Congressional declaration of war. It is instead a congressional grant to the president of powers to wage war. And more importantly it was a grant that the Constitution does not authorize Congress to make. So if anything both Congress and Bush overstepped Constitutional protocol regarding the war in Iraq. [/QUOTE]
