First time ever.
If the Republicans decide to go to the mat by enforcing the war powers act, I (gag) support them.

It's never happened before and I doubt it'll ever happen again.

Congress needs to stomp out this unitary executive bullshit that Obama has happily inherited.

5. Lotta water... err blood.. under the bridge since 1998.
We'll have a succession of emperors until congress gets a handle on it.

And frankly, democrats have proven that they don't have a stomach for that kind of conflict.

6. The War Powers Act has only been in force since 1973
Each president since Reagan has been more blatant in ignoring it than the one previous.

4. None of this would be a problem if Obama had rejected Bush's ways.
