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

@mmeijeri "Mr. SHARMAN thought it stood very well. The Executive shd. be able to repel and not to commence war." http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_817.asp … -
@repjustinamash I stand corrected.

@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.
