It vests in Congress not only the power to declare war but control over the money that funds military operations.

Maybe we should have walked away from Vietnam 4 years into the action rather than let it linger 10 years.

vague authorization--a blank check, if you will--is the opposite of democracy.

We don't need to pass a new AUMF to show the world we support our troops.

Since then, every President has said that they don't recognize the binding power of the AUMF but they will often act consistent with it.

We should not be limiting--if we have a goal and it is verified by Congress, we shouldn't put limits on a commitment to the goal.

Our Founders wrestled with this issue over 200 years ago. They knew that by vesting--they could have vested all power in the executive branch, thereby achieving security, secrecy, and flexibility.

The fact is that at least in that circumstance the President, and others have as well, simply violated the War Powers Act.

The advocates of unlimited executive power without the need for congressional authorization--I am willing to do that as soon as we elect a President who is wiser than Jefferson.
