Litmus Test

Be it resolved that any initiation of hostilities against Iran or Syria without explicit authorization by Congress is an illegal usurpation of a power constitutionally reserved to the Congress, and further, that any such order to our military is an unlawful order which must not be obeyed.


How about it Dems? If you are against war with Iran, put your vote where your mouth is.

Go ahead, put in a few carefully structured exceptions - specifically excluding the kind of BS we have been hearing about Iran supplying IEDs to Iraqi insurgents - if that is the case, let the President show it in open Congressional debate. Make it clear that starting a war on your own is treason against the Constitution.
