That history supposes, or the Constitution supposes what history demonstrates that the executive is the branch most likely to go to war, and therefore the Constitution vested that power in the Congress.

I do not believe he has the constitutional authority. I think Congress has this.

But I would also argue that it would be more likely that Hezbollah will attack because of this attack in response.

We'll talk birthers, Sarah Palin, and a comment about tapping your phone that will probably surprise you.

I submit the following notice in writing: In accordance with rule V of the Standing Rules of the Senate, I hereby give notice in writing that it is my intention to move to suspend rule XVI, and rule XXII, Paragraph 2, for the purpose of…

We have created this byzantine and bizarre Tax Code and chased them overseas.
