That is enough time to fully get us into a war that has no end.
How do you stop what is started... It's not that easy. It is easier to prevent it in the first place.
The senate can reign this in before it starts. Nobody likes to tie the hands of POTUS but it is clear this time it needs to have some limitations even if they are not made public which would be advisable. Let those Senators speak for war publicly if they want it.
Since when has the right in the senate not been surprised just how far donald will go.
We are being hand feed data to make this acceptable in the public eyes that it almost reminds me of Iraq. And it has only just started.

1. "Donald" hasn't went too "far" on war at all. Not yet anyway.
2. I believe 100% that Congress should repeal the War Powers and any other acts that they themselves passed and take responsibility for declaring war as the Constitution empowers them to do it.
3. They won't.
Since they don't have term limits, House members and Senators are too scared to make any REAL decisions that might hurt them politically. They crave power for their lifetimes.
So they have handed off power to the Executive Branch.
It's total bullshit.
Spineless politician/bureaucrats.
