What if instead of asking Congress to vote on Iraq, Dubya used the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists to invade Iraq?
The world will end before we end up seeing an American president being tried for war crimes.He gets impeached, especially when they don't find WMDS and he might be tried for war crimes, he and his administration.
He kind of did, since there was no declaration of war.
It’s interesting, isn’t it Drunk, that nowadays
Declarations of War are regarded as these
quaint, thoroughly outdated things which no
POTUS need bother with. This was NOT the
intent of the founders- they most definitely
did NOT want to give the POTUS unlimited
power to wage war as he see fits- but now-
adays, that is what we have.
