Isn't there a difference between "sounds like" and Congress drafting a declaration of war?
I was under the impression that for a true state of war to exist, and all wartime powers activated, congress must explicitly draft and pass a declaration of war. I don't think they've ever done this (concerning Iraq, I could be wrong) sas Scott A.

Have you seen one? I think the congress granting the President to use force to remove a standing ruler sounds like a declaration of war. On 1/23/06, Larry C.
