Make excuses all you want, but this "Joint Resolution" expressed the full will of BOTH HOUSES of Congress. It SPECIFICALLY authorizes President Bush to use Executive War Powers, like it or not.

The Constitution mentions nothing of a "joint resolutions" amd "full will", but it does prescribe the exact way the country is to decalre war, which has not been done. Nor does the constitution describe any way for Congress to grant the President "Executive War Powers" in any other way than an official declaration of war. Like it, or not, you are wrong, and the government is yet again violating the constitution.

Really? What exactly does it say about how the country is to declare war? Does the constitution say that Congress has to use the words "declare," "war," "tunafish," or anything else in particular?
