Excellent article. Thanks for posting it.

The powers of the president to make war have been questioned repeatedly throughout the history of the office. The executive makes one claim, while Congress makes another.

And so it shall continue.

[The] judicial branch should not decide issues affecting the allocation of power between the president and Congress until the political branches reach a constitutional impasse. Otherwise we would encourage small groups or even individual members of Congress to seek judicial resolution of issues before the normal political process has the opportunity to resolve the conflict. . . . It cannot be said that either the Senate or the House has rejected the president's claim. If the Congress chooses not to confront the president, it is not our task to do so (Dellums, at 1150).

Possible interpretation: Aren't you people supposed to be adults?
