Who controlled congress in the 90s
And who does the Constitution give the power to "To raise and maintain an Army"

"To raise and support Armies, . . ."

And "To provide and maintain a Navy;"

Minor points I know. Still, I am always amazed at the incredible care our founders exercise in crafting our Constitution. No matter what the left believes, it means what it says.
