    Not sure I understand the point of a War Powers resolution (an act I have never liked for a lot of reasons) while the "Do Whatever You Want" AUMF is still out there.

        The same point the original one served. Life as an empire requires one keep up the appearance of being a republic.

        Until significant members of the political party in charge are willing to oppose the President of their own party, we effectively have an elected King.

        They could also just tackle this issue through their well defined appropriations powers!

        Only one person in 2001 had the vision to see the problem with the AUMF, and she has been proven right. It basically guarantees that these wars will never end.

        But they can't rely on the AUMF...isn't that why they are lying about Iran being part of 9-11?

        It's a brushback pitch.

        Its Kabuki. Congress has been handing over its war powers to the executive for decades, and to rein them in it will require either a veto-proof majority in both houses or a POTUS willing to limit their own power. So...it'll require a veto proof majority.

        It is pointless and unconstitutional.
