GOP Senator: Bush not sole 'decision-maker'
Specter actually, for a minute there, takes a stand on something.

"I would suggest respectfully to the president that he is not the sole decider," Sen. Arlen Specter said during a hearing on Congress' war powers.

"The Constitution makes Congress a coequal branch of government. It's time we start acting like it," said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Obvious.

"Read the Constitution," Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer told her colleagues last week. "The Congress has the power to declare war. And on multiple occasions, we used our power to end conflicts."
"Once Congress raises an army, it's his to command," said John Turner, a law professor at the University of Virginia. "Unless you impeach the little fucker."
