have plenty of quotes from my favorite framer james madison, but this is one of the few points on which there was almost unanimously. it appears that butler proposed to give this entire power to the president of the united states. he did not receive a second. he spoke to a room of framers and made the proposal and not a single one second that motion. that was one of the most important moments of our republic. that silence, the absence of a second, show-- shows where we began of men of principle who knew they had to strike this compromise to restrict the powers of the presidency and give this sacred duty to this institution. it was a compromise but it's hard to see how that language got us to where we are today. in 250 years we have 5 declared wars, only 11 declarations. it actually began poorly. we did not get out of the 18th century before members of the institution found ways to get around this duty. when john adams wanted to start the quasi-war, to his credit they did put forward legislation that referred to the french vessels but it was not a declaration. we weren't even out of the 18th century before politicians found a way to get ar
