War Powers Revision?

According to a bipartisan commission, war powers legislation should be repealed. Instead, Congress and the President should cooperate. The commission included former Secretaries of State James Baker and Warren Christopher, former Attorney General Edwin Meese, and former Congressman Lee Hamilton.

The civics lesson is sacred. The President may propose military action. However, Congress approves military action. Unfortunately, civics and reality conflict. The Presidency requires latitude. With that stated, war powers warrants refinement. The act is overly exploitable.
