Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a recent and entirely unexpected turn of events, historical archivists unearthed a 100-year-old Congressional decision that has, unbeknownst to the modern public, been the invisible hand guiding the nation's war legislation for decades. The revelation comes just weeks after the House of Representatives passed a controversial military authorization bill with a margin so narrow it could supposedly be sliced with a vintage Bowie knife, as one congressperson put it during the debate.

The found document, a yellowed piece of parchment, was discovered in the attic of the Capitol Building, behind a portrait of a stern-looking statesman named Senator John A. Fiscalprudent. The paper, penned in an archaic script that resembled chicken scratches, outlined a plan to "ensnare future generations in a labyrinth of military obligations while maintaining the illusion of legislative oversight."

According to the declassified document, the brainchild behind this master plan was a group of visionary legislators who foresaw a future rife with global conflicts, where the term "peace dividend" would be as elusive as a vegan buffet at a hunting lodge. These lawmakers, known as the "Perpetual Powers Caucus," believed that by crafting a law that would bind the hands of future Congresses, they could ensure a perpetual state of military readiness and, consequently, lucrative contracts for the military-industrial complex.

The caucus's predictions, it seems, were eerily accurate. The recent military authorization bill, which sparked heated debates and eye-rolling from political commentators, was found to be a direct descendant of the caucus's original legislative framework. The bill, which some critics claim is as flexible as a double amputee in a pie-eating contest, has set the stage for a future where the concept of a "declare war" clause is as obsolete as a VHS player in a smartphone world.

The implications of this discovery are staggering. Political pundits are already speculating about the potential for a Congresss-less Conflict" where the military could operate autonomously, guided by the original intentions of the Perpetual Powers Caucus. Meanwhile, citizens are left scratching their heads, wondering how a decision made by a group of long-dead senators could still be pulling the strings of war and peace in the modern era.

As the dust settles on this Capitol Hill bombshell, one thing is clear: the future of global conflicts is more entangled with the past than anyone could have anticipated. And while the world braces for what's next, the ghost of Senator John A. Fiscalprudent is likely chuckling from the afterlife, having played a longer game than anyone ever imagined.
