So, does this imply that once Congress gives authority to invade a country, the President can do it repeatedly? http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/18/politics/us-iraq/ …
@ExeteraAdams @tylerglaiel Jurisprudentially, it'd be a hard case to make that even though they are the ones that can "call it forth"...

@ExeteraAdams@tylerglaiel ... they cannot write a law that says "we will uncall-it-forth if you use it in a way we don't like." -
@cmuratori The thing is, the War Powers Resolution doesn't uncall-forth (ie. disband) the armies or defund it, either of which would be OK. - Show replies

@cmuratori As far as I can determine, "call[ing] forth" a militia or "raising" an army refers to recruitment, which the WPR doesn't touch... -
@ExeteraAdams It's about authority. The Congress can literally disband the army if it wants to. - Show replies
