Not that Congress has done anything to push back. It has been quite happy to abdicate its responsibility to decide when to go to war (and how such a war should be conducted). DoD and DoS are bad, but they can only execute the president’s policy.

Except Congress has no role in conflict termination, nor has it really pushed for war since probably 1898 — it has mostly followed to executive branches lead. The political branch to blame is the executive. It has usurped war making powers from Congress for 75 years.

One of my workplaces is staffed entirely by PhDs. The office kitchen has a sign by the toaster. It reads: Please do not butter bread before placing in toaster. Lemme tell you. Signs like that don’t happen because ONE person did it ONE time.

But the pedagogy applies regardless.

Seconded by this current educator!
