It's interesting how you dismiss things you don't agree with as "magic words". What is the existing AUMF other than a set of "magic words" that gives the President the ability to send soldiers into any country at any time for almost any reason?
Any idea how many countries we are currently fighting in based on this AUMF? Does it bother you that there were/are soldiers fighting in Niger without Congressional knowledge? Did all of these terrorist organizations exist when the AUMF was passed? If not, how can it possibly apply to them?
