Calling Speaker McCarthy:
Article I, §8 The Congress shall have power:
- To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations;
- To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water
I don't think we need a declaration of war here, but constitutionally we have more options than letting 'resident Biden's hapless branch run everything here.
