NO FLY ZONE ILLEGALY INITIATED

Perhaps the President should read the U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 8 that delegates the power to declare war and the power to define and punish Offences against the Law of Nations to Congress. He may be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, but the authority to initiate military action belongs to Congress.

Congress, as usual, has no problem with letting others usurp their constitutional powers. They no longer represent we the people but only the party to which they belong. We the people are Americans first, not Democrats and Republicans. Our soldiers don't fight as Democrats or Republicans, they fight as Americans. This is why war should be initiated by Congress and not by one individual, even if that person is President.
