"Bush did it the right way, the constitutional way. He got Congress to vote approval of his actions the whole step of the way. Those votes were a de jure declaration of war."

Why the de jure work around instead of a Constitutional formal declaration of war? Bush did not measure up nor has Obama.

I did not know that the template for a declaration of war is in the constitution. And you do know what de jure means. If Congress authorizes the President to lead the military in hostilities, that is a declaration of war, no matter what anyone might call it. A Declaration of War is not some certificate with a gold fringe around the edges with Declaration of War printed in Gothic letters as a heading.

Do a search when the last time Congress declared war. At least President Bush went in front of Congress. That arrogant pos did and does not. Obviously he thinks Congress needs to go in front of him and beg him to bring the case to him

He obviously really thinks he's emperor
