Why not? There was one vote in the House (by Rep. Barbara Lee) against military action. I wonder why she hasn't brought legal action. I would think she would have no problem coming up with contributions to pay for it. I really can't answer that. I would think that there would be members that would have challenged, but none have. It might be fun to raise it with your Senator[s] or Representative just to see what dance they might give. You would have to admit that it's 'convenient' for Congress, no debate, pass off your responsibility to someone that's willing to take it. If things 'go bad', Congress can always jump up and say, 'we never declared war'. I believe there's a parallel argument for term limits. The Framers didn't intend there to be term limits; they specifically changed the words from the Articles of Confederation which had term limits. IMO, the electorate that desires term limits is abrograting their voter responsibilities. jttmab
