[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] In a government governed by a constitution, must not powers be derived officially and technically, not "because it makes sense" or "that is the way it has been done before," a more common-law method? In other words, if the President is claiming greater powers because "we are at war," and the Attorney General is acting as if "we are at war," then should we not be at war, which can only be declared by Congress? Is not the usurpation (a word I use for lack of a better; forgive the negative connotations) of powers not granted in peacetime by the President and the Attorney General unconstitutional if we are not in a state of Congressionally declared war?
