I do want to say to you and @siggy47 I appreciate this conversation! It really makes you think and look not only at what we have done now but historically and what the Constitution stated.... it just blows my mind when I look at it and think about it....

Good question. I don't think most of Westward Expansion came under formal war declarations, for instance, and somehow that all came under US control.

It is pretty wild to look at our government. Something I am not sure of but since it has been mentioned is what was done under Monroe when it came to his doctrine.... I honestly dont have any idea on what all was done back then off the top of my head so has the creep been going on since then?

Its clear that 9/11 has forever changed how military action is done but between the revolutionary war and WWII what was the way it was done.
