The real question is if the Republicans get into power can they find some way to say we're at war (they keep saying the southern border is being invaded by immigrants) and then use that to suspend it. Then if it gets challenged the conservative supreme court can just uphold it as constitutional.
The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force is still active, so in one sense, we've been in a forever war for the last 23 years.
And even before that we are in the war on drugs, although to be fair in the war on drugs, drugs are winning and it's by a lot.
That is why they call it "an invasion"
