There’s a law somewhere - W abided by it - that says POTUS must notify personally two chairmen of the House Armed Services if an emergency war act must be undertaken. On Sept 6, 2007, when Israel took out the Syrian nuke facility under construction, W called Pete Hoekstra and the rat member of the committee.
We didn’t hear about that Syrian plant being vaporized until three days after it happened.
My W post was for those of us wondering what happened in al-Baghdadi today, near Asad Air Base.
