        . @repjustinamash so no, they did not in fact believe that "declare" = "commence", though that still does not allow for a punitive strike.

        @repjustinamash @UTJolley if the founders meant "declare" = "engage" they wouldn't have used "engage" in A I, § 10, cl. 3.

        @mwbowler Congress doesn't engage, but they must authorize before executive can "engage".

        @UTJolley I disagree "Declare" is a formal juridical act that that invokes treaty obligations, etc.

        @repjustinamash @UTJolley I'm with John Yoo on this. Of 100 military actions in which our country has engaged only 5 have been "declared".

        @mwbowler I don't think it's necessary for language to say "declare" but Congress must authorize war.

        @UTJolley if the founders meant that they'd have said it like they did in 1.10.3. I recommend this discussion on it http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Law-Talk-with-Epstein-and-Yoo-4-Don-t-Judge-Me …

        @mwbowler Are you saying Congress doesn't have to authorize war? Do you think it's constitutional for Obama to bomb Syria w/o approval?

        @UTJolley Yes. But at the risk of defunding or impeachment if done precipitously.

        @repjustinamash morally, how is starting a war with no formal declaration any different than what the empire of japan did to us? #hypocrisy
