David Clements on War & Peace

	David Clements on War & Peace

No executive War Powers; only Congress should declare war

Because the exclusive power of Congress to declare war must be respected, I oppose the exercise of executive War Powers in the absence of a Declaration, except in the face of an immediate and direct threat to the United States. Executive reactions to imminent dangers must not be allowed to drag on without the express authorization of Congress. I favor a clear strategy for entrance into and conclusion of any foreign engagement and a definable goal that constitutes victory, before putting our soldiers in harm's way and committing billions in tax dollars. America's interests and sovereignty must always come first. Source: 2014 N.M. Senate campaign website, ClementsForNM.com , Feb 18, 2014
