The founding fathers were clear about many things, but in the era of modern war, who called the shots and had the final say to go to the battle, it was not the most crystal moments of the founders.

Article 1, Article 8 of the Constitution gives congress the authority to “declare war”. But Article 2, Article 2 of the Constitution, refuses the president the “Supreme Leader”.

Constitutional scientists argue that Congress must adopt a decision before sending service employees to hostile works abroad under the leadership of “war”. But what if you just sent B-2 bodies from the Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri’s state to travel mid-road around the world and Bunker Buster 14 Slingshot 14 to three Iranian nuclear facilities? Or if you light from the OHio Greenlight category to launch 30 Tomahawk missiles to Iran as well?

Are you “in war?” Does the president have the authority to do so? What about Congress?

Well, if you say the president – or Congress – both can be right.

Or an error.

Representative Nancy Mass said, RS.C. “(President) Donald Trump has not announced war. He has the right as the supreme leader to carry out a very surgery.”

Notice MACE, “There were no forces on the ground.”

But then this South Carolina added:

“AUMF 2001 is still in place. If we do not like it, Congress must get rid of it,” said Mass.

Yes. Hold.

We know what “forces on the ground” are. We believe (you think) we understand what is the “declaration of war” (or are we?).

But pray, say, what is in the world “AUMF?”

This is Congress that talks about “permission to use military power.”

It is a kind of Congress “Declaration of War.” The House of Representatives and the Senate must vote on the “declaration of war.”

Transom windows, pancake cabinets, and charcoal muds in homes are all outdated in the 1940s.

And so did the “declaration of war”, apparently.

Congress has not “declared war” since 1942.

This was against Romania.

In fact, the United States “declared war” only 11 times in history.

The Congress does not “declare war.” Both the House of Representatives and the Senate must vote. Thus what the modern conference is doing now is to agree to “permission” to send the army to the path of harm abroad. It can be by sea. Forces on the ground. In the air. Name it whatever you want.

Congress authorized the decision of the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. This was a gateway for years of fighting in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Recently, Congress blessed an authorization of the invasion of Afghanistan and launched “war on terror” in 2001 after September 11. The lawmakers followed this in the fall of 2002 for his statement to the invasion of Iraq – on suspicion that Saddam Hussein’s regime had a arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. The United States and its allies found nothing after the 2003 invasion.

To the MACE point, AUMF for the year 2001 is so wide that four American presidents have deployed in many military action around the world. The MACE argument will be that Iran or its agents can launch terrorism attacks – or even a nuclear weapon somewhere. Therefore, AUMF 2001 is a justification for American participation.

However, most experts in foreign policy and military experts argue that AUMFS 2001 and 2002 are calcified, and legislative effects.

This is why it is a political perspective about how many legislators feel about launching attacks on Iran and if the Congress has to participate.

Democrats who usually oppose President Trump supported the air strikes.

“I was saying,” Hell yes, “said Senator John Vitirman.

Representative Deby Vaserman Schultz, De Flores, is one of the most supportive legislators of Israel from either party.

“This window is now open,” said Vaserman Schultz before the attack. “We cannot remove our shoes from their neck.”

But possible strikes are worried about legislators even before the launch of the United States. There is concern that the fire can turn into a wider conflict.

“The idea that one of the suburbs will be sufficient, and that it will be one and I did, I think it is a wrong idea,” said Senator Richard Blumentel.

Before the conflict, members of the House of Representatives from the two parties have just returned from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

“They are concerned that this will be rising.” “It will not take much until it goes out of control.”

This is why actors Thomas Massi, RK, Ru Khanna, Dr. California wanted the House of Representatives to vote on their decision before the United States attack Iran.

“I will not call my side from the insulation of the Maga base. We have exhausted. We are tired of all these wars. We are not overlapping,” Massi said on the CBS network.

“You are wasted billions of dollars because we are sending more forces to the Middle East. What did you accomplish? And why are you unaware of the American people who are tired of these wars?” Khanna also said on CBS.

MP Margori Taylor Green, RR GA, did not mention the name, but in Marsa X, she discouraged the decision to hit Iran.

“After only 6 months and we go back to foreign wars, change the system, and the third world war. It seems to be a full taste and switch to satisfy the new monozers, warm, military industrial complex contracts, and new TV figures hating Maga that were never experts!” Green books.

Representative Warren Davidson, R-OHIO, also asked about the president’s authority to shoot at Iran.

“While President Trump’s decision may prove fairly, it is difficult to visualize the constitutional logical basis,” Davidson wrote on social media.

But when it comes to the Republicans who criticize those who contradict Trump, most of the Jobar Massi took over.

“I am not sure of what is happening with Thomas. He does not vote against everything,” said MP Greg Murphy, RN.C, at Fox Business. “I’m not sure why he is here yet.”

“He must be democratic because he is more compatible with them than the Republican Party,” said White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitte, Caroline Levitte, from Massi.

The disposal of Republicans towards the Democratic Party can be a questionable strategy, given the majority of the narrow Republican Party. It is currently from 220 to 212 with three vacancies. All three vacancies are in the regions that Democrats prefer strongly.

Senator Tim Kane, D-F. plans. To force the Senate to vote this week on a decision to determine whether the United States should wander militarily with Iran.

“We will have all the members of the Senate who announce whether the United States should be in war with Iran or not. It is unconstitutional that the president start a war like this without Congress,” Kane said in Fox. “Every member of Congress needs to vote on this.”

Whether the United States is involved in the “war” with Iran is an issue of discussion. Here is the deepest secret: lawmakers sometimes think that their war authorities are exercising under the first article of the constitution. But since the sounds about “war” or “AUMFS” are complex, some members prefer gossip on this topic – but they give up their strength to the president. the reason? These are very difficult sounds, and it is difficult to determine the right thing to do.

The founders were skeptical of a strong executive official. They wanted to make sure that “monarch”, or, in our case, was a president, unilaterally unilateral contact without an examination of Congress. But over time, Congress abandoned many war forces. For this reason, the executive authority appears to be divorced under these circumstances.

Is the United States in the war? Like many things, it may be in the eye of the beholder.

And whether this responsibility eventually took place with Congress or the president in Ain Al -Nazer as well.
