Virginia's Senator Jim Webb has introduced legislation that restores the rightful constitutional power--to declare war--back where it belongs....to the Congress. Webb's Bill would prevent a war against Iran without Congressional power.
U.S. Secretary of State Condi Rice continued to supply "vague" answers to Webb's office on whether the Bush administration believed that Bush had the right to declare war against Iran without Congressional approval.
Webb has the guts to do what needs to be done to restore the checks and balances to our system of law based on the constitution. Hopefully, the rest of Congress will have the guts and the backbone to support Senator Webb's legislation.
It is expected that Webb's proposal can be "grafted" onto the Defense Spending Bill that should reach the floor next week.
