1) The War Powers Act is unconstitutional.
2) Democrats have been beating Republican presidents with the WPA since 1973.
3) Obama may be pushing this so far that the WPA may be re-assessed, and if so, I expect that it will be thrown out.
4) Which means that the Democrats will have to stop beating Republican presidents with the WPA.
5) If Congress really wants to stop US military action, I believe they can do so by cutting off the money.

Took me a little while, but it’s apparent that Obama and Carney appear to indeed be pushing it. How can you use “limited” strikes under the WPA 90 day rule and then have Carney argue that the limitedness of the operations somehow does away with the 90 day rule? How can only boots on the ground be the definition of what constitutes war?
If Obama finds the WPA to be unconstitutional, then he shouldn’t push it but have asked Congress beforehand to scuttle it. Why would Obama, a Dem, want to have the WPA thrown out if Dems use the WPA to beat Republicans?

Democrats can find more ways to skirt the laws and regulations . The intent of the law, The direction it should take ,mean nothing to these craphouse lawyers.
