Only Congress can declare War. It is explicitly stated in the Constitution.

It didn't stop him from bombing Iraq for his buddy Netanyahu.

War was not declared. I know it sounds stupid but Vietnam was not a war in the legal Consitutional sense either. The distinction is relevant. The need for nuclear deterrence made it easier for presidents to initiate actions. The War Powers Act was supposed to limit that, but Congress is feckless.

Congress has been effectively AWOL since the twice-impeached (so far) criminally seditious traitor and lifelong fraudster sociopath seized power again. I never thought that BOTH SIDES would collectively blow off their oaths of office and acquiesce to a fascist takeover. Congress is a disgrace. 🇺🇸💔🇺🇸

and I have trouble believing that even our corrupt SCOTUS could find a way around that. While they continue to give power to Trump they would never have given Biden I can't believe they would make themselves extinct. Expanding the court under a future admin would fix that. IF, we can toss the regime

Congress is back there in the dust of Trump’s chariot wheels.

Is that the same Constitution that Trump and the GOP think is just a suggestion box and SCOTUS think is irrelevant? That Constitution.

This will be a fight. I don't think they have won yet. I fear that soon the Tree of Liberty will have its 'natural manure' to quote Jefferson. This letter is very worth reading. Thomas Jefferson to William Smith - Thomas Jefferson | Exhibitions - Library of Congress share.google/wxBfjdmykfQ9...

Better read it now before Trump declares it’s too woke and has the document removed like he’s trying to do with the history of slavery.
