Come on Roscoe P. Cheerleader, can you prove the WPA passes the review of The Constitution of The United States?

Yes. It was passed by the congress (our legislative branch), signed by the President (our exectutive branch), and has not been struck down by the courts (the judicial branch). If you are correct, then it would be simple to challenge it and have it overturned. Or if the people don't agree, then congress can overturn it.

Let me sum up:

the legislative branch thinks it's constitutional

the executive branch thinks it's constitutional

the judicial branch thinks it's constitutional

the people of the united states think it's constitutional

It's constitutional...

*************************

An honest reading of the Constitution shows that the War Powers Resolution is illegal.

Congress is charged with deciding if our nation should go to war. There is no provision for delegating the power to make that decision to the Executive.

War is a legislative decision.

Our elected representatives decide if we, as a people, should go to war. It isn't a subject for ONE MAN to decide.

If Congress passed the Exodus War Powers Act, conferring the power to decide whether to go to war to citizen exodus, you would agree that they don't have the Constitutional authority to delegate that power to me.

It is illegal for Congress to GIVE that decision-making power to any man, not even if that man is the President.
