- But aren't we talking about foreign policy though? Besides the ability
- to declare war, what foreign policy powers are given to Congress in the
- Constitution? If there are none, passing laws restricting the FP powers
- of the executive branch would seem to me to be unconstitional.
-
- As an aside, the facts about IranContra have been known to Congress for
- years. Why didn't the Congress impeach Reagan then if things were so
- awful? These frivolous charges by Walsh against Weinberger before the
- election were thrown out. The press release from the Clinton campaign
- was dated before the indictment. This smacks of political dirty tricks
- that are supposed to be the forte of the Republicans (wait... Walsh is a
- Republican.... hmmmmm?)
