[QUOTE="Jones, post: 775317, member: 4805"] Technically what they did was authorize the president to use military force, they didn't actually declare war. Congress hasn't formally declared war since WW2, which I suspect is what bbsam is getting at. Congress is supposed to be the only branch of government that can declare war, but if you look what's actually happened since 1941 you can make a pretty good case that they have abdicated their constitutional responsibilities in that regard.
