That "Constitution optional" thinking is what has led to the bloated and power hungry government that we are burdened with today.
We need people who will follow the Constitution and require Congress to formally and legally declare a war if they feel that is important for us to fight one.
A "declaration of war" is not mere semantics. It is a is a FORMAL declaration issued by a national government indicating that a state or war exists between that nation and one or more other nations.
It may also be a formal performative speech act or signing of a document by an authorized party of a government in order to initiate a state of war.
The definition of "declaration of war" is therefore very clear..and it is only those who would ignore the Constitution that try and blur or change that definition to fit their own twisted desire for power and dominance.
