Syria? War Powers belong to Congress, not to Obama

   War in Syria? I am against President Obama, on his own, taking us into such a chase. It is time we started following the Constitution on the matter of going to war.
  The Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war. "The Congress shall have Power . . . To declare War," says Article 1, Section 8.
   In 1973, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution, which says the president is not to lead us into a war without congressional authorization, unless it is an emergency as we are under attack.
   We are not under attack.
    Ever since the War Powers Resolution, presidents have ignored it. Now, since the Constitution grants Congress the right to declare war, Congress certainly had the right to pass the War Powers Resolution.
   If the Constitution says a thing, we should live by it.
