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/ …

@cmuratori Like, could Obama just go ahead and bomb Germany right now because we _used_ to be at war with them?3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@cmuratori I don't think the president needs permission for any military act right? All congress does is officially declare war?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@tylerglaiel Technically he is supposed to need permission for _every_ military act that is not a defense of an imminent threat.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori@tylerglaiel The War Powers Resolution is a grossly unconstitutional power grab by Congress, so not really.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ExeteraAdams@tylerglaiel Even before the War Powers act, the Constitution vested the power to "call forth the militia" to Congress.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ExeteraAdams@tylerglaiel Jurisprudentially, it'd be a hard case to make that even though they are the ones that can "call it forth"...2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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."2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@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.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @ExeteraAdams
@ExeteraAdams But at that point it's just a remand for rewrite. Like, they'd just tack "or we will disband the army" onto the end. Done.6 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@ExeteraAdams So, like, _maybe_ the Supreme Court would want them to do that, but I seriously doubt it.
