He won the poll too...but Fox won't admit it. He has placed in top five in every straw poll he has been in...

Lanny--Your own Greg Groogan did a great report about him. He's from Lake Jackson. Go on YouTube. He is quite the popular man. He was on The Colbert Report. If you go to ComedyCentral.com and then go to The Colbert Report and go to the interview, you might have to go to the next pages of interviews but he was on there. He was also on Bill Mahar after he socked one to Rudy about not knowing what the 9/11 Commission Report had said in the first or second Republican debate. That is what got him noticed finally I think. He is a self-described Constitutionalist. He voted against the war in Iraq, voted against the Patriot Act. Some of his ideas are a bit scary (like getting rid of the Department of Education), but so far he is the only one saying something different out there. I think we need something different because politics as usual has become polarizing and paralyzing.

Over the President's veto, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution, designed to redistribute the war powers between the President and Congress. Although ambiguous in some respects, the Resolution appears to define restrictively the President's powers, to require him to report fully to Congress upon the introduction of troops into foreign areas, to specify a maximum time limitation on the engagement of hostilities absent affirmative congressional action, and to provide a means for Congress to require cessation of hostilities in advance of the time set.

In the absence of a declaration of war, a President must within 48 hours report to Congress whenever he introduces troops (1) into hostilities or situations of imminent hostilities, (2) into a foreign nation while equipped for combat, except in certain nonhostile situations, or (3) in numbers which substantially enlarge United States troops equipped for combat already located in a foreign nation. The President is required to terminate the use of troops in the reported situation within 60 days of reporting, unless Congress (1) has declared war, (2) has extended the period, or (3) is unable to meet as a result of an attack on the United States, but the period
