[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"Under the Constitution...there is no distinction between a formal declaration of war, and an authorization of use of force."</blockquote> That's because the latter doesn't exist in the US Constitution. Now, this new "Use of Force" act apparently lets the president send troops in for sixty days, and then Congress has to decide what to do. The only ways for the troops to stay are if Congress declares war, if they give some other sort of permission, if they ignore the matter, or if the president declares a national emergency. So, it still isn't an actual war. It may be an official act of the government involving the invasion of another country by our military forces, but it shouldn't be called a "war" unless they declare war. [/QB][/QUOTE]
