I'm no fan of laws being selectively enforced, on any citizen or branch.

I would want this to be cleared up (what the actual responsibility was) and remove all question as soon as possible.

Polifact does not actually give an example of this supposed "selective enforcement".

re: #2 Buck

I would honestly expect the war powers act would fail the constitutionality test. As such i suspect the congress may wind up regretting legal action.

I guess they were just expecting their readers to know at least a little bit about the last few previous administrations.

What's troubling is that the War Powers Act is constitutional when it constrains some presidents, but not when it constrains others.

This isn't the way our law should work.

From the time of Hammurabi, we've had, as an ideal at any rate, the principle that the law is the same for all.
