The "United Nations Participation Act" 1947 The Wars Powers Resolution 1973 came after. The "United Nations Participation Act" does not need to be amended when a new law redefines the conditions that a president must go to congress. So no the UNPA does not trump the WPR. Obama would be the FIRST president to say it does. Right?
And of course we have been in violation for years. |
Because of this part: "
the constitution of the war powers act"
You totally don't understand the difference between them do you?
One is pre-authorized by congress, the action is already authorized, by the people that have the legal authority to make that choice.
The War Powers Act gives the President the power to start the war, it does not authorize war.
And again, if the War Powers Act can override the constitution, then so can the "United Nations Participation Act" - which are NOT the same powers being handed down.
