War Powers

Why do you suppose these morons in Congress haven't changed to "powers" that Bush got (or assumed) after 9/11?
Could it be that they are afraid that they will be unable to rein him in?
Or, could it be that they want to keep him "hanging out there" to be an easier punching bag for the Democrats?
Either way, "We the People" are getting pretty short shrift from our supposed Representatives.
I don't know the answer. But I know that we, in this country, are on an "Edge" of some sort that we can't fully comprehend.
And our choices appear to be Hillary and Rudy!

Deep sigh...
