What makes this attack on Iraq very dangerous from a Constitutional point of view is that Bush thinks he has the authority to move ahead without Congress's approval, developing his war plans within the context of the war on terrorism There is no question Bush will seek and receive Congressional approval before moving ahead with the war. There is also no question that he not only THINKS, but in reality DOES have authority to move ahead without Congressional approval. You are so full of it. Bush first of all does not think he needs Congressional approval........he makes that very clear when he speaks. Just because he thinks it does not mean he DOES the authority because he DOES NOT........read the Constitution.......it will explain it to you. Secondly, as a president put into office by the electoral college and with the assistance of the Supreme Ct., he damn better GET Congresses approval before someone MOVES for impeachment. There is a reason presidents do not seek approval prematurely. War continues to be, de facto, a presidential prerogative, by virtue of the fact that the president seeks approval only after it is essentially too late for Congressional intervention, except in the most unusual circumstances (which I don't believe we've ever seen to date). BS........that was NEVER the intent of the founding fathers.......READ the Constitution.......you may learn something about a democracy.
