Long tradition of our wars, since WW2, has been to not declare war. We use the presidents prerogative to send troops, for a period of 90 days. Then we just extend it. So as not to declare war. SUPERPOWERS cannot declare war. We will only admit to skirmishes. You are talking of stripping long extablished power of the pres.

Her opinion is, that God should guide the Congress, and the pres. enforces the dictates of that congress. Theocracy that Iran would marvel at.
