Carter quotes,” In his original veto message, President Nixon asserted that he had no choice but to reject the Resolution because it was "clearly unconstitutional.””. President Nixon has a point in which he says that he shouldn’t even be following the resolution if the constitution already provides enough power through all this. Limiting the the presidents power is not necessary one bit, the position of President wouldn’t be needed or it would just become obsolete if they didn’t have the power to perform whatever they wanted that they believed would help. Even chairman Tom Connaly disagrees,"Do you think I'll have to ask Congress for a declaration of war if I decide to send American forces into Korea?" the President asked?"If a burglar breaks into your house," I said, "you can shoot at him without going down to the police station and getting permission. . . .

The president can use military power as he decides is essential and proper to shield national security and authorize all relevant United Nations Security chamber resolutions to use force. Before starting war, under obligations Bush had to make accessible to Congress his assurance of circumstances. Indeed, under requirements he had to prove that Iraq was infringing upon UN resolutions by yet being in control of weapons of mass destruction, and furthermore that Iraq was behind the 9-11 assaults. Invading Iraq started before any peaceful resolutions, an alliance between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, and a threat of weapons of mass destruction was proven. In his book, Record emphasizes how the 9/11 Commission reported in 2005 that while there may have been contacts between al Qaeda and the Baathist administration, have seen no proof that these ever formed into a community relationship; nor have we seen confirmation showing that Iraq participated with al Qaeda in creating or completing assaults against the United States” (51). Furthermore, Hussein allowed UN auditors to have access to suspected weapons areas. They reported that there was no proof or conceivable sign of an atomic weapons program in Iraq. Record concludes, Iraq was a choice not because it was a convincing security threat but…

Bush administration, such as Rumsfield, Wolfowitz and Perle, were pushing a war agenda convinced that Iraq posed a major threat to the United States, previously during the Clinton administration (Pfiffner, 2009).…
