This is what the law actually says:
SEC. 2. (c)
The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

Which he skipped entirely to get to:
SEC. 3.
The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

I guess if the Repubs think it's fine, then it must be. They aren't needed then if we just have an executive branch and not a legislative one.

He has cited minutia in the famed War Powers Act to criticize actions of Bush, and then oversteps the Dem’s cherished War Powers Act in a way Bush never did.

The reason is clear. He wished to establish precedent of the P2P (power to protect populations) as a legitement sole power of the UN despite its never having this authority in its charter outside actions authorized by its soverign member nations. One World Government dream of Susan Powers, Obama and the other leftists must take priority over the Constitution or the leftists can’t win.
