The Constitution at least forces the President to have the support of the Congress for these 'adventures'.

No, it only requires Congressional approval to declare and fight a war. A single military action is not a war.

It's brainless to claim a President shouldn't have the immediate power to respond militarily to a threat without having to get Congressional approval.

I agree.

What was the "threat"?
