It is
sad that it has come to this, but even in the lefty swamp a voice or reason tries to educate. It is too bad they can't escape BDS long enough to actually debate the point. I wish the poster lots of luck because he is dead in lefty world.
The bottom line is clear. WHETHER the United States enters war or CONTINUES at war is the exclusive decision of the Congress. Bt the CONDUCT of that specific war, subject to Congress power of military rulemaking (on torture, the UCMJ, the Geneva Conventions, etc.), belongs exclusively to the President.
The Congress' power here seems clear to me. IT can END the Iraq war. But it can not dictate how it is conducted on military questions. That power belongs to the President.
My thanks
to QandO.
