That's what the war powers act says, but as we've already established, that is an unconstitutional and illegal document.
You know, there's a group of people here in Texas who believe that, on a technicality (and my understanding is that the argument's entirely accurate and true), Texas never joined the Union and is in fact its own country.
You cannot discuss things with these people because they simply keep referring back to the documents in question--and the unwavering "facts" of what they say. Never do the words "I believe" enter into their conversations, they simply keep saying "it is" that way. But practical reality says they are wrong, no matter how right they are on paper.
To draw from the Utah Woman thread, the truth is YOU BELIEVE that people SHOULD have certain rights under what you call Natural Law--and your simply stating it as fact does not change the lives of the millions of people who do not have those rights in practicality. YOU BELIEVE that many current government actions are unconstitutional, and are free to challenge them, but at what point does the reality that they are happening, and will in all likelihood will continue to do so, have to be accepted?
These guys in Texas haven't accepted the reality around them yet, but I personally believe it is a fact that I am an American.
