US Declaration of War

by duckman May 14, 2006 3:33AM PDT

For those who doubt it. The Constitution does not explicitly say how the declaration should be worded. so here it is for those who don't understand

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/sept_11/sjres23_eb.htm

Key part:
"a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."

And I would love to see anyone challenge this in court

IOW, what is you point?
