13. NO IT DOESN'T !!!
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 11:37 AM by ddeclue
I JUST GAVE YOU THE CITE WHICH IS EXPLICIT.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode50/usc_sec...

US CODE TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 36 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1811
§ 1811. Authorization during time of war


Release date: 2005-03-17

Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for a period not to exceed fifteen calendar days FOLLOWING A DECLARATION OF WAR BY THE CONGRESS.


The law is what the WORDS OF THE LAW SAY IT IS - not what you WANT IT TO SAY. The President gets 15 days after war is declared (WHICH NEVER HAPPENED ANYWAYS) not 15 days without a warrant.

FREEPER ALERT!
