There were two AUMFs. One for "terrorism" and one for Iraq.

I'm not in disagreement, that also wasn't what my initial reply was about.
Yes, we call those "blank checks" to the executive branch. The Germans even have a word for it. We did it with Vietnam and it did not go well. One would have thought the generation in Congress would have learned their lesson given most of them lived through that shitshow.
It goes without saying that military resources can defend themselves when fired upon, there's plenty of precedent going back well before the formation of the US. The AUMFs were not that. They were very clearly blank checks to wage literal wars anywhere the executive desired while providing the flimsiest of evidence - and Shrub did just that. See: Iraq.
The last war by US Congress was declared in June 1942, against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. US Congress has not made a formal declaration of war since then.
It renders for me now too, I presume the mobile app was updated. Star Trek cartoon Kirk for me.

Watch out for direct injected cars, which is virtually all of them now except for electrics. Many don't have traditional fuel injectors in the intake manifold anymore, and because of poor PCV systems, oil vapor carbonizes on the intake valves, causing problems. This is generally around the 40k-50k mile mark, potentially sooner if people don't drive their cars on the freeway for extended periods after startup. Some newer cars have addresses this by adding supplemental fuel injectors in the intake (some audis, some Toyotas) but it's not a widespread practice, of it will ever be.

Yes, therein lies the problem. It was a stupid mistake to make and those that voted for it should have known better.
