(17,111 posts)Did I miss something? Congress does have a say in that, but we have actions not wars. If no war is declared then don't bring me crap about the War Powers Act. That is unchecked executive power.
AND there are borders or do you consider the sovereignty of nations to be irrelevant. We had a stroke after 9/11 because our borders were crossed and terrorist acts carried out. People in the Southwest certainly believe in them as do the individual states. You either have borders that matter or you don't. People have crossed them forever to do no good. It just wasn't a huge event.
I can't even begin to address the point about electing presidents who act certain ways. You and I have no idea what will actually happen when someone takes the reins of power.
