Dear Mr. President:

We are writing to register our strong opposition to possible unilateral, preemptive military action against other nations by the Executive Branch without Congressional authorization. As you know, Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power "to declare war," to lay and collect taxes to "provide for the common defense" and general welfare of the United States, to "raise and support armies," to "provide and maintain a navy," to "make rules for the regulation for the land and naval forces," to "provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions," to "provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia," and to "make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution ... all ... powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States." Congress is also given exclusive power over the purse. The Constitution says, "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law."

Conyers can't read. Forestool is learning but he still sounds out the words.

My morale would get a big boost...

If I could see a couple Al Jazeera reporters messing their pants while beautiful cruise missles zoom over head and light up that world menace. It would prove America is still able to push the button when it is needed...guess what Tool,

it is needed.
Melt Iran,...then take the oil.
It would pull the gas out of dozens of anti-west thugs and eventually lower the price of fuel which would boost our standard of living.
Yeah, aren't nukes great?

Oooooo..... remember 1988 when we shot down an Iranian airliner and Howard Stern & Robin Quivers sang a parody to the tune of "Time of our Life"??

HS: "We, blew, a plane from the skyyyyyyyy..."
RQ: "But we didn't mean to start a warrrrrr......."
HS: "290 dead towelheads, washed up on the shoreeeee...."

It's good to know there's a congressman who's read Article One, Section 8 of the Constitution. Will he attempt now to stop the billions of dollars per year spent outside of those boundaries?

Conyers can threaten all he likes, but he'll run up against the same problem that everyone else has... the definition of high crimes and misdemeanors. As Republicans found the hard way, even perjury is not a high crime or misdemeanor, and certainly responding to acts of war against your country would never be considered as such.

I think perjury was, as indicated by the impeachment. I think Gore as president, and a divided country, were two things people could not stomach.
