48. War Powers Act of 1973 already limits Presidential powers....
Which is why the two AUMF resolutions are unconstitutional right now ! The wording "...as he determines..." abdicates Congress's power to declare war and gives it unconstitutionally to Bush and for Bush to determine the truthfulness of the pretexts for war, also violating the clarity requirement of the WPA of '73

Bush needs new lawyers.
