Interesting perspective you've got there, but let's consider this: The U.S. Constitution vests Congress with the power to declare war. It's not about some conflicts or extreme situations. It's about preserving the balance of power and preventing unilateral decisions that could plunge our nation into war. Remember Vietnam? It started as a limited engagement but escalated into a full-blown conflict with huge costs.
Now, how would you propose the line between 'extreme situations' and 'some conflicts' be drawn to prevent such a scenario from repeating?
