into Iraq, so I think it will be okay. He is going back to Washington for 2 days during the planned vacation, if that helps your mind.

If he only took off time when nothing was going on, he would never take off any time, but that would be okay with you, I'm sure.

Good post. He's letting it interrupt his vacation. - sm

Article II of the Constitution spells out that “the President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states.” Known as the Commander In Chief clause, the age-old arguments are how much power does the President have to order military operations and what are the limits to such power? (The real power to formally declare a war is reserved to Congress.)

In 1973, Congress approved the War Powers Resolution. The act stood against President Richard Nixon’s veto, and it required that in the absence of a declaration of war from Congress, a President must report to Congress within 48 hours of introducing military forces into hostilities and must end the use of such within 60 days unless Congress permits otherwise.

The AUMF of 2002 gave congressional approval to military action in Iraq. It specifically says, “the President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq.”

ROFLMBO!!! "Like Bush did?" - sm

Bush LIED to Congress (and the whole world) in order to get that approval!

Heck, even I believed Bush and the whole "mushroom cloud" garbage until I discovered it was all LIES!!

This is actually more of the activity of the New Apostolic Reformation. Their infiltration of American politics is now not only through the GOP.

Note that this candidate is a pastor of the fundamentalist Assemblies of God, whose members believe the Bible is the literal word of God and practice speaking in tongues. For a man with hi ...

Which is 31 more than the Democrats hit -- ever.
