"You don't know by now that I have zero tolerance for BS? Mud, Bush was obviously an enabler when it came to Clinton's Kosovo policy. Why did he interfere when Congress was trying to put even some modest limits on Clinton's Kosovo actions? Granted the proposed Congressional action, that Bush was blocking, was too little, too late. But it was better than nothing and making no attempt to rein Clinton in at all. Why did Bush rush to Clinton's defense and do his dirty work? No, setting a date is not "the Executive Branch's Duty, not Congress's." Clinton was clearly acting outside of the boundaries of constitutional presidential powers. It WAS Congress's job to put a stop to it."

It is my understanding that Congress does have some powers that exceed the Executive Branch. One of them is declaring war; not the President!
