Roll 328: On the Motion to Discharge S.J.Res. 59. Vote type: discharge.
Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The measure directly restrains military hostilities that lack congressional authorization. Restraining unauthorized war and reaffirming the legislature's role is a defense of justice and accountable authority, and it does not itself advance harm.
Theological note: Scripture grounds civil authority in justice and calls rulers to restrain the sword, so decisions to wage war are weighty and should rest on lawful, accountable authority. This measure concerns whether unauthorized armed hostilities are restrained through the constitutional role of Congress, which bears on the moral question of unjust killing and the proper limits of executive power.
