And yes they would be upset with the modern Democratic party-but they would also be upset with the modern Republican party. To think otherwise is just living with the blinders on. They would have outraged of presidents waging war without congressional approval.
The constitution itself was a compromise (represented mainly by Madison and Hamilton), and was designed to change with the times.
PS-Adams was the first founding father to propose independence, in reference to your previous post. And he also represented the British during the Boston Massacre.
The founding fathers aren't as black and white as you like to pretend. But you simply believe bullshit, so it satisfies your cognitive dissonance.
Yes they would be very upset with modern Republicans in a lot of ways. However....the Constitution does not require congressional approval for the president to take military action. The president can do what he wishes. Congress has the option of interjecting if they choose to do so but they are not required to interject nor is the president required to get congressional approval.
Also go read my OP and you will see that I point out clearly that the founding fathers were not black and white but there is a lot of crossover to consider. And BTW....using philosophical terms like "cognitive dissonance" may impress Richard, but I can assure you I have no feelings of internal conflict or remorse. All that tells me is I am about to deal with a pseudo-intellectual jack ass who has a vocabulary and took psych 101.
