Poor Brian. You guys are killing a very important belief of his (and so many others). Calling Iraq "unConstitutional" is key to their beliefs and the justification for so much of their condemnation and vitriol. Of course I'm talking about the "low information voters" here (just to be clear).

We're still waiting for you to demonstrate how removing Saddam from power in Iraq was "unConstitutional".
And, I'll bet $100 you are one of those who oppose the 2nd Amendment, too.
LOL

Maybe you are reading another country's constitution? If you are still sure you are reading the Constitution of the United States, please reference were exactly it states that the President must make a speech declaring war and how Congress is to precisely word their declaration of war.
For your further reading pleasure, from the United States Court of Appeals Doe vs. Bush:
Nor is there clear evidence of congressional abandonment of the authority to declare war to the President. To the contrary, Congress has been deeply involved in significant debate, activity, and authorization connected to our relations with Iraq for over a decade, under three different presidents of both major political parties, and during periods when each party has controlled Congress. It has enacted several relevant pieces of legislation expressing support for an aggressive posture toward Iraq, including authorization of the prior war against Iraq and of military assistance for groups that would overthrow Saddam Hussein. It has also accepted continued American participation in military activities in and around Iraq, including flight patrols and missile strikes. Finally, the text of the October Resolution itself spells out justifications for a war and frames itself as an "authorization" of such a war.
