    That way the executive branch is able to launch military operations without approval from Congress.

    The irony is... the only military actions which haven't been humiliating failures in the previous two decades were not approved by congress. Desert Storm, Haiti, and Bosnia were all performed without Congressional declaration of war. Iraq and Afghanistan were approved.

    Go figure.
