Loss of Salary for Failure to Declare War

Loss of Salary for Failure to Declare War

Congress shall lose a year's salary if the Country is taken into war by the President without an affirmative vote from Congress.

Points

Congress has failed in its duty to act as a check on the Presidential power to use the military for war. It should lose a years' salary every time there is no vote to invade and/or attack another country and the President goes there anyway.
