The Way it Was

I don't agree with most of your statement,

I do agree with the part about fighting wars without the authorizat­ion for funding necessary through Congress.

I might even call for a National Referendum on any Declaratio­n of War, reserving for the President his Constituti­onal responsibi­lity to "defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

We might not be so eager to initiate foreign "adventuri­sm" if we had to gain approval from Congress and the Citizenry through a more formal, even if expedited, process.

The 21st Century calls, loudly, for revisiting American foreign policies, both political and economic (to whatever extent they are not already intertwine­d), although it would take much more space than here to develop a discussion worth having.
