Can someone tell me, if Ron Paul is against the Iraq war, why has he not floored a vote to stop funding and bring the troops home as required in the original congressional authorization, “Use of Force” H.J.Res 114 of 2002 and required after 90 days by the War Powers Resolution (WPR) H. J. Res. 542 of 1973?

If you have not read the authorization in H.J. 114 here is what it says exactly.

Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq

Resolution of 2002 (Reported in House)

HJ 114 RH

 

(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and

 

(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.

 

(c) War Powers Resolution Requirements-

 

We are done, bring them home now Ron. The war is the responsibility of Congress and not the President.  If you doubt that fact read H.J. 114, H.J. 542 and the Constitution.
