This legislation finds that the provisions of this section follow the principles embodied in the United States Constitution and the writings of the founders. The purpose of requiring that congress has the exclusive power to declare war, that a declaration of war must be enacted to call the National Guard into active-duty combat, and that the Governor must take all actions necessary to comply with the requirements set hereto in regarding the calling of the Idaho national guard.

There will be no impact of the General Fund because this bill is solely a return in following the intent of the United States constitution as set forth.
