With apologies to a superb film.
I'm experiencing a moment of dissonance, here. Bush "free to attack Iraq"
Wait....wait...I know this one. NO, HE'S NOT.
[whips out copy of US Constitution, AGAIN]
See? Right here. Article Number One. You know, the really really important stuff. Like "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States". Y'know? The Definition-of-Nation stuff.
The Congress shall have Power To...
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies...
To provide and maintain a Navy;
Where does it say the President gets to declare War? No, no, no, go read it, see? See? About 5 lines up, little English letters on a contrasting background? Congress. C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S does not spell "President", friends and neighbors.
And for the record, P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T doesn't spell "King"
