D2, your ignorance is matched only by the utter superficiality of your thinking.
Yes the Queen manipulating the world economy from under her skirt as you believe is sound profound thinking! You are a bloody nutcase!
The constitution imperative to declare war is and has been problematic and only 5 wars were ever declared though the nation fought many conflict. Had it been a pressing matter, any of sitting congress to date could have firmed up the language.
In any event, the congress can stop any war as they did the Vietnam war so if they had any objections to what Obama is doing they surely can stop him. The larouche clan may have problem with it but that is their gripe. Let them take him to court.
The point is that is not the same argument being made for the total disregard for legislative authority as in Guyana! In Guyana, it is not a matter of breaking laws. It is a matter of the administration declaring they are independent of the authority of the legislature.
As I said, keep your apples and oranges separate.
