“[W]hat I call the ‘monarchist’ view of the war power [is] that the President holds nearly unlimited power to direct American forces into action.” Joe Biden, current Vice President, commenting in 1998 at which time he introduced legislation to replace the 1973 War Powers Resolution designed to prevent the president from indefinitely committing U.S. forces to a military engagement without congressional approval.

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation”—the current president speaking in Dec 2007.

Can someone reconcile these two statements with the current actions in a fashion that presents the prez and VP as anything other that standard politicians?
