I seem to recall Bush putting his hand on the bible, and I don't recall him using the word "is".

first off there is nothing he has done to violate the conditions.
Second off I can guarantee there was an "IS" in there somewhere. but that's semantics

That is technically the basis of perjury, but a violation of the Constitution would still have to be alleged.
And the Supreme Court would get this one, and Constitutional principles would come into play.
The current Supreme Court law is that the President has Executive Privilege, particularly in time of war.

If Congress, and it took both houses and parties, voted to give the President permission to go to war, should they not be held to a higher standard and charged with dereliction of duty? Especially Hillary since she was in the White House in the last Presidency! Or is it easier just to blame George. He could not have went to war without Congresses permission. Is it not Congresses job to balance the power between the executive and legislative branch?

I don't know the answer, but I think it's a very good question. The people of the U.S. may have a case.
