Question for people....I had an argument about Libya and the war decleration. The person stated that under our treaty with NATO the following applies:
"THE PRESIDENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO REQUIRE THE AUTHORIZATION OF CONGRESS to make available to the Security Council on its call in order to take action under article 42 of said Charter and pursuant to such special agreement or agreements the armed forces, facilities, or assistance provided for therein"

She then went on to call me an idiot paulite etcc.... My question is doesnt our constitution super cede this and was the NATO agreement ever ratified by congress?
