A “Democratic Deficit”
To those who say matters pertaining to America's involvement in foreign wars are limited by a Congressional Declaration of War should note two things.First, the President didn't think it was necessary to even ask Congress about the Libya operation, nor was it in the loop with the regard to the Arab Spring. Second, the President has in general been disinclined to require anything from Congress if his executive action, the reasons for which are protected by executive privilege, will do. For more on this subject, refer alas, to Pravda. The next and obvious question is why anyone would need Congress any more than one needs a government in Madrid? Remember, it's for the children. -- Belmont Club ｻ The End of Westphalia
