....."The use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war.... under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution ....and therefore constitutes an 'impeachable high crime and misdemeanor'.... under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

And soo....this is not the only time bm's ignored the Constitution. There just is not enough congressional support to move this further....our representatives are brain dead.
