Quote: Just curious, just who votes for war if the nuke wipes out congress?
Answer: They will all be there at once? They’ll just sit there waiting for the fireworks when the warning systems kick in? NORAD is asleep at the monitor? Governors and Legislatures are on vacation? Hell, if it’s that bad - why not just declare war on incompetance.
