Article 1, Section 8

Notice all of the wording, but 12 especially. It is rather clear that the intent for a standing, permanent army was not there. Navy? Yes, but not an army.

I don't read it as there isn't supposed to be a standing army. The way I read it is that the appropriations bill can't last long than 2 years. You would just have to pass a new one once that one expires.
