The war in Syria.

I’m not saying that that action was correct, but not all military interventions require congressional approval. Most of our engagements over the last 245 years in fact did not have congressional approval, much less a formal declaration of war. I might agree that the events of 9/11 made such actions more palatable to the general public, but you can’t say they made them possible.
