There are NO provisions in the Constitution authorizing Congress to decide strategic, tactical or technical use of the revenue authorized, the troops, officers, equipment or supplies. For them to attempt to do so is showing their contempt for the Constition. Congress has the power to limit how money

Reply By: ParaTed2kPosted: Tuesday, November 20, 2007ColGene: The only thing Congress can do is either declare war or vote it down. Therefore, Congress DID declare war. The fact they were too spineless to use the term "war" is irrelevant. Without saying we declared WAR there is NO declaration of war

The Republicans spared no effort in impeaching Clinton for lying about having sex with an adult. Bush and Cheney lied about the danger from Saddam and took us to war predicated on those lies and covered up the outing of our covert intelligence agents. It was not only Mrs. Wilson that was put in jeopardy but all the other contacts that she had dealings with when she was an undercover agent. What Bush and Cheney did is a thousand times more harmful the

Last, history will be the judge of Bush, not us. That's true. History is judging Reagan better than I ever dreamed possible. So, perhaps I'm off here. But if I was Bush's defense attorney, I'd be looking to buy a juror or two. I had a discussion of what LASTING benefits we have from Reagan. The issue that came up was the end to the Soviet Union. After talking about that we agreed that is not as much of a benefit as you first think. They were a known e

Keep in mind that Congress has control of the availability of the money needed to fund military operations, which in turn, provides another check on the executive branch as well. you see the only recourse congress has after declaring war is to cut funding not tell the president how to deploy troops.
