Chris Matthews asks the GOP candidates an easy question: Does Congress need to authorize a strategic attack on Iran? When Mitt Romney says that he would have to consult his lawyers (the same disturbing answer he gave to a question about detaining American citizens without charge or trial), Ron Paul goes off and gets a strong round of applause.
It's quite astonishing that a majority of the Republican candidates for President of the United States simply do not understand the Constitution and that the power to declare war lies with the Congress. Can you even begin to imagine what the founders would have to say about this?
