I absolutely agree with this! Accretion of war powers to the executive has


been happening since Vietnam, to the point where Congress is merely a lapdog in the process having almost fully abdicated their Constitutional duty to declare war. We can modify them to acknowledge existing realities and the need to respond quickly in some cases, but that power should be limited. As it is we continue to invest the executive with the power of a Caesar. The only thing missing is the purple robe.
