Presidents, Cabinet secretaries, and members of Congress are sworn to uphold the Constitution. The Constitution says that Congress will have only the granted powers, and it does not give the Federal Government an arbitrary power to decide which Korean will rule South Korea. Ergo, I would not vote to do so.
Since the Civil War was a war to deny the CSA the right to secession, it was an anti-constitutional war.
