Facetious argument ~ there’s no prescribed manner for “declaring war”. You just do it ~ besides, it was AlQaida/Afghanistan that attacked us first.

I guess Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution doesn't exist....

Those who oppose waging war without declaration point to Article I of the United States Constitution which reads, in part:

The Congress shall have the power... to declare war.

When was that done?
