Our founding fathers put the power and responsibility for declaring war in Congress so that the most important act a nation can engage in, entering war, would be a public matter, publicly debated. They had seen how monarchies in Europe had made war the private indulgence of a handful of people and wanted none of it. <BR/><BR/>The prospect of war is considered none of the people's business. We have a president who doesn't give a rat's ass for the Constitution. Congressmembers are so frightened of being on the wrong side of an issue, they refuse to take any positions whatsoever.knighterranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886831250521410342noreply@blogger.com
