But I do believe. as was just mentioned by the last speaker. that there is still a glaring problem in that it continues this process of ceding power and authority from the legislative branch over the executive branch. which means. for me. as good as this bill isand I think it is a great billthere is still this larger constitutional question about the balance of power in our system of government at the Federal level. For me. what I would say is. I dont know how we condemn the President for taking unilateral action with regard to immigration and yet endorse a bill that authorizes and offers funds for his ability to take unilateral actions with regard to war in the Middle East. As has already been noted. he has burned through his 60 days in the War Powers Act. There is no declaration of war. and. in this case. there is no current authorization for these two wars.
