CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing that Congress has the sole and exclusive power to declare
war.
Whereas the President should present to Congress the question of
whether to declare war as provided for in section 8 of article I of
the Constitution of the United States; and
Whereas when the valiant men and women of the United States military
are away from home to fight a war, to protect the peace, or to
enforce disarmament, they will have the full support of the
Congress, and Congress will take every possible step to ensure that
they are protected from potential attacks and a negative
environment, they have the support they need to do their jobs
effectively and efficiently, and they are brought home safely as
soon as practicable: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),That,
pursuant to section 8 of article I of the Constitution of the United
States, Congress has the sole and exclusive power to declare war.
