Now here is something we should all support, may prevent a repeat of this last mess. Maybe people are waking up... finally.

Congress Must Re-Assume War Powers, Lawmakers Say

(CNSNews.com) - Who has the primary authority to wage war on the behalf of the United States: the commander-in-chief or the Congress? It's a question that's been raised several times in history, and one that Congress thought was settled by the adoption of the Vietnam-era War Powers Act of 1973.

Now sponsors of a resolution to amend that law hope to settle that question permanently and make it clear that the president must always seek the consent of Congress before getting the nation involved in armed conflict or war.

At a press conference Thursday on Capitol Hill, Reps. Walter B. Jones (R-N.C.), William Delahunt (D-Mass.), Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Wayne Gilchrest (R-Md.) announced the introduction of H. J. Res. 53, the Constitutional War Powers Resolution.

"This bill will inject Congress into the process, so that it can meet its constitutional responsibility," Jones said. "We will require more reporting from the White House, and we will require more consultation with the White House. This is a bill I think will have a lot of support in Congress."
