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. I sort of doubt you're in a position to know. I suppose the sensible thing to do is to wait and see. 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. Right. You be funny, man. (practicing my ebonics). that was NEVER the intent of the founding fathers.......READ the Constitution.......you may learn something about a democracy. Are we living in a Democracy? The intent of the Founding Fathers is a difficult thing. The Founding Fathers never intended the kind of witch hunts we've seen with recent Republican presidents' nominees, but we get them. It seems the Founding Fathers' intents are a little vague at times, and subject to selective recall by the liberals.

Ted the constitution is unclear on this matter. I would be better to get congressional approval rather then go in to a constitutionally gray area but it doesn't lay out all the specifics. The constitution doesn't really anticipate undeclared wars. You could argue that because it does not mention undeclared wars that no such war can be waged without violating the constitution but 1 - All of our post WWII wars and some of the earlier ones have been undeclared and 2 - If you are going to be that strict in asserting that the government can not do what is not expressly constitutionally authorized you would have to throw out over half of what it now does.
