I am not trying to argue that having this law shows any consiquence, as I said the law is a legal fiction, the issue is that the cries that this is illegal are not only irrelavant but arguably incorrect due to the power congress keeps delegating to the president.
I understand that, and I agree with you. I’m just looking at this from the point of the kinds of deep structural loopholes that invalidate those laws. They tried to litigate all this during Iraq 2, and it went nowhere. It proved the laws are only there for show. There were no consequences either, and even the opposition party rehabilitated Shrub as a shining example of a “good republican”.
