Re: Worlds most powerful men
Does anyone know the last time the US Congress declared war?
Save your brain... it was 1942
So America has not been involved an any military action since?
No Korea?
No Vietnam?
No Syria?
No Afghanistan?
No Iraq?
Ah, the War Powers Act of 1973... No need for congress then. Hang on troops are supposed to be withdrawn within 90 days?
Then Congress passed an Act in 2003 which basically said anybody involved with 9/11 could be attacked at any time.
Because of loose definitions within the act the President has carte blanche to attack anybody (s)he fancies having a go at when ever he likes and bugger Congress. (ISIS didn't exist in 2001).
As he has the most powerful military then YES the US President is the most powerful man in the world without a doubt.
