A mutable constitution is useless

For any type of democracy, constitution is the framework that determines the power of each branch of government. It is contradictory, and indeed absurd for any branch to have the constitutional power to modify the constitutional framework itself.

One does not have to be a lawyer to understand that, if a branch can modify the constitution, there is no point in having one at first place. It is just as plain and simple to see that a mutable constitution is equivalent to dictatorship.

In accordance to the Constitution of the United States of America, the power to declare war belongs to the Legislative Branch. The transfer of such power to the Executive Branch is not within the power of any branch because such transfer or delegation is equivalent to modifying the Constitution.

What I am saying is plain and simple. The Congress and the Senate do not have the power to vote on a legislation that delegates the power for declaring war to the Executive Branch. Somehow this has been done, conveniently providing Mr. Bush with the opportunity to invade Iraq. The question is, who or what oversees such violations of the Constitution?

Turning to the war itself, anyone can easily tell that the outcome of the war has brought miseries to the majority of Americans, and all Iraqis. A small percentage of Americans associated with private sector have profited big, indeed very big. As an additional help their tax burden has been drastically lowered for even more absurd profit levels, already in the billions.

Since the war is strictly benefiting a certain group of people in our country, shouldn’t they pay for the cost of the war? I know they will want our children to make the ultimate sacrifice. What about our little ones that will be the men and women of a few years from now? Should they pay for a war that they had nothing to do with? So, Mr. Bush wants us to sacrifice our children now, and use our tomorrow’s children to pay for a war that took away their parents, brothers and sisters? Why can we not stop this madness?
