    According to Constitution's Framers, power to declare war includes power to "commence" war. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_817.asp … https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-15-02-0056 …https://twitter.com/itsmetsforme/status/850482089334099969 …

        Clearly the framers didn't want 1 person, even the President, to start a war or commit our military to war.

        Amazing how many folks still can't accept that one of the genius aspects of the Constitution was separation of war power from the executive.

        Is almost like the framers were worried that one man's hasty decision could cause disproportionate damage and that should be avoided...

        Correct. They are different. Outside of Bizarro world, declaring comes before commencing. Not here.

        Whether you like it or not US history features only 5 Congressional declarations out of 125+ wars. President routinely circumvents.

        Again 100% correct. Only Congress can declare war. What was Congress' response to the war in Boston, SanBernardino, Florida nightclub? Yep.
