Maybe you don't understand the word "every"?

I never said the UN charter out weights the constitution, not once did I say that... That makes it impossible for me to be wrong, even more so completely wrong when you're opinions are based on a lack of education.
The War Powers Act, isn't part of the Constitution, it's a resolution. So if it can over ride the constitution in your mind, then so can the "United Nations Participation Act" which is exactly the same thing, and what is being used in Libya. That's OUR act, our Congress voted it in, it's not the U.N. charter.
And Libya doesn't have to declare war on the UN, the UN is doing EXACTLY what it was setup to do with Libya. Read up... stop thinking you know, and read up.
I'm glad it says that... it's nice to use twisted information for your own benefit. Because the Constitution says, Congress makes those choices.... fully.
It's really that simple, either an Act is allowed to be amened by Congress or it's not, which is it? If not, we've been in violation for a long time... if so (which it is) the "United Nations Participation Act" does trump the war powers act, as it's preauthorize for use already, without need of approval.
Btw... This means CONGRESS authorized it. Not the President. So.... a bit more legit than the war powers act.
Truly... you need to read up ... this argument is getting pathetic.
