The War Powers Act is the law of the land whetehr you like it or not. If you think it's unconstitutional, then you should have Ron Paul challenge it in court. He, at least, has standing to do so.
And the reason I didn't provide a link is because some folk just need the truth right between the eyes. Like you for instance. :-}
You can scream all you want about this and that being unconstitutional but I don't want to hear you say again that the Congressional Authorizations are not legal because it's a lie. They are the current law of the land.
Drink up, the kool-aid is sweet.
A law by any name does not mean it passes the constitutional muster. Of course it's convenient when the said law keeps real topics from the media.
You really are simple and silly.
And trailer park "common law courts" don't count.

The War Powers Act doesn't say what you think it says.
It DOES NOT give the President power to wage war as he sees fit. It is a LIMITATION on the war powers already usurped by Presidential officeholders since WW 2. It passed over the veto of President Nixon, and has been disregarded by every President since it's passage, including both Presidents Bush.
The President is limited to 8 months of un-sanctioned military action, and then, "...the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed Forces..." [SEC. 5. (b)]
We have been bombing the nation of Iraq for years, without a Declaration of War, without the specific authorization of Congess, in direct violation of the War Powers Act.
