Congress Should be More Proactive in Declaring War

   I join with those who suggest President Trump should have obtained Congressional approval before attacking Syria.
   But, I also wonder why Congress thinks it has to wait for Trump to ask for its approval. There might be something in the Constitution to this effect -- that Congress should wait for the President to ask -- and I confess I do not have time to look that up. But, it seems if Congress wanted to do its job, it would convene on its own and vote on the question. Congress should be more proactive.
