The time has come to remove the WPA. It has allowed Presidents to get the US into “wars” without us declaring war. Congress has only declared war 5 times in the history of the USA, Only once in all these wars the President involved himself in without Congress declaring was the right thing to do. That is when Mexico invaded when Texas became a state. Sending troop to foreign lands to fight and died with a decleration of war need to be stopped.

I agree. This system does not work as the Constitution intended it. Congress should be the one to declare war and should not advocate this responsibility.

Why should Trump even think about Military action in Venezuela? Unless they invade the USA there is no reason to even think about military actions.
