For the edification of the objective third party that may read this thread: The issue was that the USC does NOT declare the method by which Congress shall declare war... That, in fact, Congress did declare war post 9-11 and did so in authorizing the use of military force. Where one sovereign uses military force against another sovereign nation, WAR is the only potential function of that use; thus authorizing the executive to use military force against another sovereign the congress, IN POINT OF FACT: DECLARED WAR.

There is NOTHING in the USC which requires Congress to use any particular language in delcaring war; it does not mandate that the phrase "DECLARE WAR" must be used when congress asserts its authorization.

The member is being intentionally obtuse to protect a failed position and has repeatedly refused to answer the salient question in that failed defense.
