Lawsuit Challenges Bush Authority on Iraq
By DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press Writer

BOSTON (AP) - A group of U.S. soldiers, parents of soldiers and six U.S.
House members filed a lawsuit in federal court Thursday seeking to stop
the president from launching a war against Iraq without a declaration of
war from Congress.
The lawsuit seeks an immediate injunction against Bush and Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to prevent them from launching an invasion of Iraq.
Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit say a
resolution passed by Congress in October did not specifically declare war
and unlawfully ceded the decision to Bush.
Conyers cited an excerpt from Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S.
Constitution that states, "Congress shall have power ... to declare war."
"Get it? Only Congress," Conyers said Thursday at a news conference in
Washington.
