The Iraq War has nothing to do with the United States Constitution. The war was not declared in defense of the Constitution, to help the Constitution, or to promote any vision of the Constitution. However, there is a debate as to whether the Iraq War is a legal War by the American Definition because there was no formal Declaration of War by Congress, which is required by the Constitution and subsequent Laws of the United States.
