  After years of posturing as a “peace president” against regime change wars, Donald Trump has dragged the United States into yet another war abroad. While fulfilling a longtime neoconservative dream, this war is the latest assault on the constitutional order.
  Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution is clear. Congress is vested with the power to raise and support armies, maintain a navy and, most importantly, “to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, a
