The treasonous GROPER seems determined to seize any powers he can, in order to fulfill his dreams of power and glory. That ALONE justifies curbing presidential powers! I also want to end the ''pardon'' option he so eagerly uses. Seriously? Scooter Libby? He doesn't even KNOW the man...admits it. And..he's investigated pardoning himself???

There are conditions when a direct attack is imminent or already underway and THERE IS NO TIME for Congressional action. This kind of thing is subsumed in the President being Commander-in-Chief. However, the US Constitution, Ariticle 1 Sec 8, gives Congress the power to declare war. This latter provision is routinely set aside these days; I agree with you, often with disastrous results!
