US President Barack Obama has the authority to launch air strikes against Syria. But he has to notify lawmakers in Congress -- a process which has begun, according to both sides.
"The administration is actively consulting with members of Congress, and we will continue to have these conversations in the days ahead," Kerry said Monday in a strongly-worded statement on Syria.

Air strikes for what? To oust Assad so Al Qaeda can take his place?

No Americans have been attacked in Syria so any war by this president is lawless.

Air strikes for what?They're one of the few remaining places we haven't bombed yet?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Presidents can now fund/give arms to foreigners to overthrow other governments and air strike against foreign nations is not really war?

He doesn't even need a valid birth certificate to attack Syria.
Now that's just scary.

AMAZING how quiet the Anti-War liberal left is on yet another pending undeclared war by the Peace Prize President Obama, isn't it?? LBJ went from being a so called great liberal president with the liberals with his war on poverty, which is still being lost, to one of the worse presidents ever after he deepened the Nam War.
Now, Obozoliar appears to be following in the footsteps of LBJ with his lies about Assad and Syria, while covering for the Muslim Brotherhood Thugs and al Queda in Syria.

Yup. Notify. He has a certain amount of time to notify and can conduct a war pretty much unilaterally until then. I want to say its 60 days under the war powers act.
Not that notifying congress would much matter. With congressional “leaders” like boehner, owebama can do pretty much whatever he wants.

Congress declares war, not the President.
There is no imminent threat to the US by Syria.
Congress needs to perform their mandate and impeach this lawless person Obama.
