“Only Congress can declare war!”

True.

But let’s clarify:

Obama (2011) – Bombed Libya w/o approval, claiming it didn’t count as “hostilities” under the War Powers Act

Clinton (’99) – Bombed Yugoslavia after Congress voted against it. Also struck Iraq, intervened in Haiti.

Reagan – Sent troops to Grenada, Lebanon, armed Central America factions

H.W. – Invaded Panama w/o Congressional OK

This isn’t defending Trump. It’s about clarity before spin sets in
