- StanislavPetrov 4y ago"Authorization for use of military force" is not a declaration of war, despite what the DC blob and their corporate media surrogates would suggest. The whole concept behind checks and balances is that the Congress would retain the power to declare war on foreign nations. Not that they would abdicate their responsibility and pass a bill that gave the executive branch unlimited, undefined warmaking powers.
