I’m not evading anything. I’m just trying to get you to admit the truth. Military action does not require a declaration of war.
“Military action does not require a declaration of war.”
Going to war does. Or it used to, in the days when the Constitution was respected. So many of my conservative friends say that the war power provision of the Constitution doesn’t have to be respected because various presidents have not honored it (Truman, LBJ and Obama, e.g.). But that’s like saying the Second Amendment is no longer valid because the government ignored it for decades.
