Our Congressperson, Melissa Bean, continually votes to continue funding the war, even though she is fully aware that the ONLY way to end the war is to quit funding it.
We got in this ridiculous position because Congress said that the President could decide when and if we should invade Iraq. Congress DOES NOT have that authority. The Constitution clearly states that Congress, and only Congress, can decide if we should go war.
I propose a Constitutional amendment to clarify this power and specifically state that Congress cannot be cowards and pass the buck.
In case you were wondering, Melissa Bean supported the invasion while running for Congress.
