The War Powers Act of 1973 gives him 60 days to seek approval from the House or withdraw the troops.

In this one regard, he has done nothing unconstitutional.

“...he has done nothing unconstitutional.”

The act of ordering military action with circumstances that the US, nor US interests were attacked initially is unconstitutional.

He used the excuse of a UN resolution.

That resolution belonged to the US Congress to debate, and authorize any action, NOT the President.

  1. The War Powers Act itself is unconstitutional.
  2. Citing anything other than the Constitution itself to determine the constitutionality of an action is rather pointless. If there is a law on the books that legalizes the confiscation of property without due process, then a President acting on that law is still violating the Constitution.
