At least about this: “I don’t believe at this stage if I’m president that we need to have a war powers approval or special authorization for military force. The president already has that capacity now.” (The New American, July 23, 2012, p. 9.)
What he forgot to say was that the president has had that power since Truman and the Korean War. And, of course, he certainly forgot to say that the president shouldn’t have that kind of power.
