Abstract
Congress’ war powers are, and always have been, both great and vast. To say this is not to elide the fundamental principle of our constitutional system that the federal government is one of only limited, enumerated powers. In most respects, the federal government’s powers are indeed less capacious than the police powers enjoyed by the several states. But things are different when it comes to war. War is what made, and remade, the Nation. Without the ability to wage war effectively, the Nation could not endure.
