Adam Schiff Sparks Debate Over War Powers With Constitution Quote
The online dispute was ignited after Congressman Adam Schiff cited Article I, Section 8, which speaks of Congress's power to declare war....
A more sarcastic rhetorical question alleged that perhaps no formal declaration of war ever preceded America’s retaliation on Japan post-Pearl Harbor, implying that sometimes immediacy trumps procedural protocol. One biting response even asked, “Where were you when Obama and Biden were dropping bombs all over the Middle East?” Another reply dismantled the entire premise with a quick, “Nobody declares war anymore, that’s so last century.” While many constitutionalists may be swayed by Schiff’s argument, the more heated responses from his detractors seem to show a deep-seated irritation regarding perceived double standards in discussions about war powers, largely depending on who is in the White House at any given time.
