So nice – in one sense* – to be talking about whether Congress should authorize the use of force and to think the outcome actually might matter. But now that Congress is in the driver’s seat, I encourage you to participate in the democratic process by contacting your representative and letting him/her know your opinion on the subject.** Here are the phone numbers you’ll need: House and Senate.
* I, of course, wish that there was peace/justice/liberty in the Middle East and there would be no issue at all to discuss.
** Pileus as an entity is not taking a stand on any particular piece of legislation before the US Congress. Indeed, we might disagree about this particular matter.

My advice to the American people is that they tell their representatives in Congress to decline the President’s passing of the buck and allow the War Powers Act to do its work.
