The President, no matter who it is has no right to commit armed forces in offensive capacity without explicit consent of the congress as per the constitution.

The constitution is what ever the judges say it is. Presidents have committed troops to War in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Kosovo and Afghanistatn with out a declaration of war. And the Supreme Court has refused to even hear a case about it. The supreme court will hear cases it thinks have constitutional issues. (See presidential election in Florida 2000) That was a constitutional issue and the justices heard it. War with out a declaration of war is not an issue and the justices refuse to even consider it.

The beltway snipers think they are God. You think you decide what the constituion says.

You need to figure out your real name. You apparently think your first name is Supreme and your last name is Court

You need to learn to read. I said The President, no matter who it is has no right to commit armed forces in offensive capacity without explicit consent of the congress as per the constitution.

I never once said "declaration of war" was required.
