So, what you're saying is the Constitution is obsolete.  Ok, cool.  Rudy McRomney's your man then.  I happen to believe the Constitution is still relevant.  The process exists to prevent the Executive from becoming a dictator that thrusts us into war at his own will.  The process worked quite fast after we were attacked at Pearl Harbor.  The deliberations lasted for less than a day.  What's so different about this war?  The threat is unclear, and the mission is undefined.
