Are war powers the same as a declaration of war?
There has been much controversy over this question and we are going to explore it on today’s show. I know folks want to streamline politics as much as possible, but to take something as important as committing our country to war, we need to slow down and take out time.
If the continental United states or her territories where attacked directly, you would find very few Americans who would disagree with a president, defending our country without a declaration of war. To repel an attack is in the purview of the commander and chiefs authority.
But if the continental United States or her territories is not directly attacked, does the same hold true? If an American interest over seas is attacked, can the president act without congressional approval? To go to war with a country to effect regime change, is that within congress’s or the presidents power?

Hello, my name is Dan Clements, and I host a live show every Friday from 12 noon-1pm ET every week. I also record a daily show that is posted in the afternoon. It's called The Dan Clements Show
on YouTube and on my show page. The Dan Clements Show is a Christian/political talk show where we talk about the issues of the day from a Christian point of view. We cover all topics of a political nature, and sometimes some topics that are not. I try to keep the show lite, engaging, and easy to understand. I want people to come away from my show knowing that they have learned something new, or how to look at an issue from a different point of view. So please come and be apart of the conversation. I also upload 1-3 short videos Monday - Thursday, so be on the lookout for those videos as well!!!
I'm a veteran of the US Navy and the Army National Guard. I have been married to my wonderful wife Lori for almost 32 years and have 2 children.
I love my God and my country and am working hard to teach the truth about both.
