Only congress can declare "war", but as far as I know, that hasn't happened since WW2. The president just does what they want.

Why doesn't Congress, the larger institution, simply eat the president?

I guess they like what the president is doing?

Same with the courts?

Backbone? The majority are Trunp sycophants, cravenly fawning over Trump, suggesting bills to put his orange face on Mount Rushmore and the $100 dollar bill. Voting down this bill will show that they have military intention on one, some, or all of those countries and will show them for who they really are.
