\_ It's only the second time that the 25th Amendment is invoked, and in
both times it's because the President of the United States of
America has his anus poked.
\_ When was the other time? Carter getting his hemrhoids(sp)
removed?
\_ "The only other time Section 3 was invoked was July 13, 1985,
when President Reagan underwent surgery for colon cancer."

\_ "Bush said he decided to transfer powers to Cheney out of extra
caution because the nation is at war."
One last time... did Congress actually declare war? -geordan
\_ you know the answer. why don't you count how many times
the bush administration has violated the constitution
and tell us.
\_ I feel so violated. -- the Constitution
\_ I believe that FDR was the last president to actually
request a declaration of war and get it..
\_ Yawn... here come the lawyers! Yes, sure, 'war' has a
specific legal meaning in this country which requires, oh
fuck it. You know all this. Fucking motd. So pedantic
in a pathetic attempt to score some 'points' on some
mythical scoreboard somewhere.
\_ How does Bush violate the Constitution by just saying that
we are a nation at war?
\_ Only Congress has the power to declare war. The terrorism
thing is a MEOW (Moral Equivalent Of War) type war. Like
the "war" on drugs.
\_ And the war on desert storms.
\_ And the Korean and Vietnam wars?
\_ Oh please, both you and Mr. Mythical Scoreboard up
there. I asked if Congress actually declared war.
Suddenly people are pulling "Geordan said that Bush is
violating the Constitution" out of their ass. And I
don't know about any "mythical scoreboard" you're
referring to. Get a life, or at least sign your name.
