[UPDATE: It is, in fact, the sort of "grand bargain" that Bruce Ackerman and Oona Hathaway proposed several weeks ago.]The Lugar Amendments, therefore, might prove to be an ingenious compromise that might be acceptable to a majority of House members, in a way the stand-alone Kerry/McCain resolution was not.One other loose end: The second Lugar amendment also provides that, "[c]onsistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(1)),… [read post]
