How many us declared wars

Art 2, Sec 1, Clause 5 indirectly puts the birth of the country not at for sake of citizenship; but closer to when the 1st Continental Congress issued the first bill of rights to the British Crown in the Declaration and Resolves. Of the Intercolonial Wars, most of those wars affected Quebec itself and had battles within its own vicinity, towns, and forts. And Quebec was invited twice to join the U. In the interim period of the possibility of Quebec becoming the 14th State, Vermont became an independent buffer republic to Canada until it became the 14th State.

This became the sixth intercontinental war where American History never labels war in Quebec as a foreign war like with the Mexican-American War. Quebec was just another American colonial state.

I trust our President. I feel if anyone is against going to war it is President Obama. Our US Congress is in a war amongst themselves. Why people keep putting the President down is beyond me.

He has been President in some of the worst of times and in handling it with level headness. Our Congress seems more involved in dissecting everything he does instead of trying to work with him. The letter and the spirit of the Constitution.

What does that mean. They had a good idea and they went with it. They even went one step further and decided they wanted no part of Britain and wanted to form their own government. Since then we have had many amendments and there will be even more before this world no longer exists. I believe certain kinds of people are available to us in certain kinds of times.

In the time from until now we could not have had a better President to be in charge of this country. Get over what our forefathers did and figure out what is best for the people today.

Change is a fact of life. I have seen much change in my 69 years and in the next 69 years there will even be more change. Once the fighting begins, Congress assumes another constitutional role: that of oversight.

Congress approved a resolution declaring war with Japan on that fateful day, and the Senate unanimously voted for the resolution, The House passed the resolution by a to 1 vote, with Jeannette Rankin, a pacifist, opposing the move. Japan had tried to issue its own war declaration just before the Pearl Harbor attack, but it failed to do it before the attack in Hawaii.

Since then, the United States has only issued five other war declarations: against Germany and Italy on December 11, and against Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania on June 4,
