    Congress “declaring war” is a relic of the past. Every conflict since WWII has been unilaterally decided by the executive.

      He needs them to declare war to give him the fat budget and more executive power. I’m sure the Republican-controlled majority won’t have a problem with it. They’ve been foaming at the mouth for a hot war with Iran since the 80s.
