#1 Remind me, but wasn't the Capitol incompletely evacuated at the time Flight 93 was crashed into the ground in Shanksville? I seem to recall some confusion and a fair number of Congresscritters still in the building.
My only point being it might have been harder to get a quick declaration of war, because we would have had to wait three months or so for a quorum. But then I think GWB would have had whatever he wanted, including a "no-fault" for whatever he had done in the meantime.
