           By Mr. AMASH:
       H.J. Res. 49.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Art. I, Sect. 8, Cl. 14 of the Constitution (authorizing 
     Congress to ``make Rules for the Government and Regulation of 
     the land and naval Forces''). Art. I, Sect. 8, Cl. 11 of the 
     Constitution authorizes Congress to ``declare War.'' Congress 
     did not properly declare war in Afghanistan, and this 
     resolution takes corrective action.
