Repeated Abuse of War Powers By White House

[From article]
David Corbin and Matthew Parks, professors of politics at the King's College in New York, say the Constitution's distribution of powers is normative: The nation should go to war in four steps.
The president should present to Congress the case for war. The House, structurally the government's most democratic institution (short terms, small constituencies), should express itself. The Senate, whose powers (to approve treaties and confirm ambassadors) give it special pertinence to foreign policy, and whose structure (six-year terms) is supposed to encourage sober deliberation, should speak. Then the president, through relevant civilian and military officials, executes the approved policy.

As Congress becomes more trivial, its membership becomes less serious. It has an ever-higher portion of people who are eager to make increasingly strenuous exertions to hold offices that are decreasingly consequential.
