Consider the significance of Public Law 107-40. In passing this law, Congress handed President Bush the power to wage war on several countries, should he so choose. Section 2 of this law states: “IN GENERAL. – That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or … in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States….” Public Law 107-40 is, in fact, a Congressional declaration of war on terror around the world. It also authorizes the president to do what is “necessary and appropriate” in terms of national defense. If Congress wants to change this situation, then Public Law 107-40 must be changed.
