This is a weak letter. The Speaker should have reminded the president that absent a threat to the USA requiring immediate action, the authority to go to war rests with the United States Congress, per the Constitution. (Any other interpretation renders meaningless the power to declare war.) Congress should vote on this, not merely be consulted.

Exactly. I think Boehner needed to use fighting words (”unconstitutional”) then start impeachment proceedngs immediately
