Ron Paul "Why don't we just open up the constitution and read it."

[kpete]

Asked if President Bush had needed congressional authority to invade Iraq, Romney again invoked lawyers, saying "We're going to let the lawyers sort out what he needed to do and what he didn't need to do."

"This idea of going and talking to attorneys totally baffles me," Ron Paul shot back later. "Why don't we just open up the constitution and read it."

"You're not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war," he continued, adding that "the thought that the Iranians could pose an imminent attack on the United States is preposterous. There's no way, this is just war propaganda."

4. 'What the Constitution says about Iraq'

From former governor Mario Cuomo,

Most Americans want the war in Iraq ended, but it continues and Americans are killed, mutilated or wounded every day, as the Democratic majorities in Congress struggle to produce legislation that will take our forces out of harm's way. Meanwhile, President Bush continues to insist that as commander in chief, he has the constitutional power to go to war and decide when to end it, unilaterally. At the same time, another possible disaster emerges from the shadows: Bush appears to be considering a military assault on Iran, again apparently without Congress declaring war first.

How did we get to this point and what, if anything, can we do now?

It all comes back to the Constitution.
