Jeffries: The reason the Constitution—and the wisdom of the framers—gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war and authorize military force is so there can be an informed public debate.

But the chance of an informed public debate in the current sphere, let alone an acceptance of the outcome, is nil.

Actually the founders gave the Congress more power than the president specifically because they didn't trust a presidency to do any more than carry out Congress' legislating. They were determined to avoid the executive branch trying to climb beyond its powers toward monarchy.

This is factually correct. The 2nd Continental Congress belatedly added an executive branch with a president to administratively carry out Congress' legislation and assure funding as directed under the rule of that law. They strove to disallow the executive ever rising above its assigned place.

To be honest, the framers lived at a time when nations fought with swords, muskets and cannonballs. Not missiles traveling more than 3,000 miles per hour. There used to be time for debating, studying and consulting. Like so many laws in the US, the constitution is hopelessly outdated and obscure.

Relevant counterpoint: The Framer's wisely assigned war powers to Congress, but in their day, war took more effort than pushing a button and longer than a day to annihilate a nation. Relevant rebuttal: Iran posed no such button-pushing one-day "threat," and therefore warranted debate.
