    If you need to start a war pre-emptively in total surprise, how can congress first be notified?
    The congress’ leaks are legendary
    Chuck Shumer and others: du bist meshugah !!!

    The president has at least 30 days after the start of hostilities to notify Congress (e.g. BTW, I started conquering Iran last month, hope you like it). It would be wise for a president to secure Congressional support (of at least the principal leaders of both parties) before starting a war, since (as is the current situation) the president will need massive amount of money to pay for the war (self-guiding rockets with lots of explosives and a close to intelligent computer system are very expensive, and the US is running out of them and needs to buy more). and only the Congress can authorize new spending and taxes.

    [1] President Barack Hussein Obama dropped 26,000 bombs
    on 7 or 8 different countries    , without approval from Congress,
    and NOBODY COMPLAINED, because he was a Progressive left-wing Democrat.

    [2] President Barack Hussein Obama deported MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS,
    and NOBODY COMPLAINED, because he was a Progressive left-wing Democrat.

    [3] President Barack Hussein Obama (not President Donald Trump)
    placed migrant children IN CAGES, and NOBODY COMPLAINED,
    because he was a Progressive left-wing Democrat.
    Instead, the MSM news media falsely blamed Donald Trump for what Obama did.

    Why the unfair double standards, in which President Donald Trump
    is condemned for doing things that President Barack Hussein Obama
    did without criticism?

    But I forgot: Nobody was allowed to criticize President Barack Hussein Obama,
    because he was America’s first Black President,
    so anyone criticizing him would be accused of being RACIST.

    Clinton didn’t get authorization or give notification for his illegal war against Yugoslavia in Kosovo as well his war in Bosnia. And he ignored the 60-day deadline of the War Powers Resolution of 1973. As did Obama in regards to Libya. And Bush I in Panama and Reagan in Granada and Libya.

    Nothing new here.
