The United States Congress is not fit to do this, at least not without a disgraceful showboating circus for our enemies to capitalize on. I think the thing to do might be to find Iran a clear and present danger for the executive to order a Cuban Missile Crisis type blockade. However, there will be an expensive consequence in the short term; an energy crisis.

I still think we should blockade Iran. Use the presidential power to declare a national energy emergency and immediately drill for oil in every possible location. We would not only become energy independent, we could become an energy provider and use our petrodollars to fight radical islam everywhere just as they use petrodollars to wage their war on us. We are either going to fight this war or we are not. Fighting a "limited war" is a sure-fire path to losing the war. The islamofacists laugh at our political correctness as well they should. They know full well how to exploit our weakness.
