according to the us constitution who has the authority to create an army?
the president
the people, by their constitution, affirmatively posited, defined, and delimited all qualifications for standing in elections for membership in the congress. the states, under the 9th and 10th amendments explicitly retain unto themselves the power to make the laws for the government and regulation of elections for federal offices that are apportioned to them (the states) by the us constitution. therefore, the people and the states together have the sole authority for the creation, production, and generation of candidate members of the us congress through the operation of the laws of the several states and the articles and clauses of the us constitution. thus, the congress itself is become a creation of and subordinate to this process. congress's processes and procedures for the management, administration, and discipline of members (once they have taken the oath, been sworn, and entered upon the rolls) are constitutionally subordinate to the sovereignty of the people and the states respectively over the creation of the membership of congress.
powell v. mccormack
united states constitutional law defines the scope and application of the terms of the constitution, although not lawfully. the states created the us constitution, and it is not for interpretation as it means exactly today what it meant when the document was created. [“on every occasion [of constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” thomas jefferson, letter to william johnson, 12 june 1823] the us constitution covers areas of law such as the relationship between the federal government and state governments, requires the rights of individuals be protected by those who serve within our governments - state and federal, and other fundamental aspects of the application of government authority in the united states. it is a field of law that is by some considered broad and complex, although defined in writing for anyone to read and learn to understand by referring to the writings of those involved in the creation of the us constitution. some constitutional scholars maintain that the authors of the constitution intended that it be vague and subject to interpretation so that it could be adapted to the needs of a changing society, and try to use the excuse that today is more complex so the us constitution needs to be re-interpreted. others maintain that the provisions of the constitution should be strictly construed and their provisions applied in a very literal manner as put into writing by those who created it so that all could understand the supreme law of this nation.
