This constitutional issue was raised and decided by the Supreme Court during the Viet Nam era. In essence, the Court held that, even without a formal declaration, Congress had authorized the Viet Nam War by resolution and by providing funding for military action. Eventually, a Democratic Congress dominated by anti-war radicals cut off funding and South Viet Nam collapsed under assault from North Viet Nam.

Hang on people. What I read is that Barry has to notify Congress within 48 hours after ordering the strike which apparently he has. It is now up to Congress to approve or deny the declaration of war. Let’s hope he gets the thumbs down. I think all this rant of impeachment based on not consulting Congress is not holding water. Am I right?
