Ok, agree 100%. But you haven't used this power since the middle 1940s! We've had a lot of combat deaths since then. What are you going to do to claw back this power? (Because it NEEDS to be clawed back...)

Congress has the sole power to declare war – full stop.
The idea that the US would potentially deploy a bunker buster bomb in Iran w/out Congressional approval not only flies in the face of our Constitution, it would also rope us into another forever war that Americans do not want.

Empty platitudes are best for looking indignant without risking doing someing that might actually be effective at restraining presidents of both parties.
If we can dodge this current authoritarian bullet maybe we could be rewarded with some systemic reform/correction.🤞
