The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was designed to limit the president’s ability to commit U.S. forces abroad without congressional approval. It requires the president to consult with Congress before introducing armed forces into hostilities and to report within 48 hours of doing so. The key provision is that forces must be withdrawn within 60 days (plus a 30‑day extension for safety) unless Congress authorizes the action or extends the period.
The widespread belief that this gives presidents a free 60‑day window to wage war is a misreading. The law was intended as a restriction, not a grant of authority. In fact, the Constitution already divides war powers between Congress (which declares war) and the president (who commands the military). The Resolution was meant to reinforce Congress’s role, not to create a new presidential prerogative. Presidents of both parties, however, have generally contested the Resolution’s constitutionality and often acted as if they had that 60‑day leeway, which is why the misconception persists.
No masked ICE agents allowed in Denver. Does anyone know of any other local ordinances passed like this to block abuses, and whether or not they abided the local law about masking (since they don’t seem to care about laws)?
If someone lies repeatedly, does it matter to call-out one more lie? When did the wives of serial liars, Donald & Pete, decide narcissists just can’t be trusted? Can we buy any words they use to justify why they’re sending our sons to war?

That sir has allowed photos showing the rash on his neck is surprising.
