“The balancing of powers was the device the Founding Fathers hit upon to prevent the tyranny of concentrated power. In writing Article I, Section 8, they balanced the president’s power as commander-in-chief against the authority of the people’s representatives to determine whether or not to commit the nation to war. There is no ambiguity of original intent here.”
