Iran Nuclear Threat Brings No U.S. Enthusiasm For A Military Strike

I think we need a Constituti­onal Amendment in place to muzzle and kennel the dogs of war in the United States. It would do four simple things:



1) The President of the United States has 60 days to obtain a formal declaratio­n of war from the United States Congress for any military action or all expenditur­es for said action are immediatel­y cut off.



2) Declaratio­n of War by the United States Congress results in the immediate implementa­tion of a draft.



3) Declaratio­n of War by Congress results on an immediate across the board, 20% war tax on all citizens, corporatio­ns, and religious entities, on all sources of income.



4) Failure to implement the above within the time frame described results in a referendum of confidence being put to the citizens of the United States on their President, Senators, and Representa­tives within 60 days. A vote of no confidence results in a General Election within 90 days of the President, and all Senators and Representa­tives.



Does anyone think we would ever have a frivolous war again with the Constituti­onal Amendment above in place?
