    Constitutionally, war should go through congress.

    But we haven’t followed the constitution in a very long time, obviously… decades

    that’s what makes someone like Trump possible, and here we are.

      we haven’t followed the constitution in a very long time

      But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.
