Opposing a state dept nominee as a ‘war-hawk’ at odds with a Congress that gave up its war-powers

Our Constitution says only the Congress has power to declare war. (ArtI, sec8, ss11)

Congress gave up that power with the AUMF, by giving it to the Executive branch.

So it seems pretty bizarre that a Congress that gives power to the Executive branch will then object to its use by the Executive branch, and fuels opposition of Trump nominees.

Just sayin’…
