As CIC., he can order the military to strike Syria. But he cannot declare war without an act of congress.

I’m sure the Founding Fathers would have tightened up the language a bit, had they ever envisioned the possibility of someone like Obama ever becoming president. Cant’ really blame them though; as recently as 2008, I was convinced that the electorate would reject an overtly anti-American Marxist.

I was wrong. Twice.

He can start a war and not call it a war. In other words, he can defy the Constitution by using word games. Just because he did it before in Libya — and conservative monarchists like Coulter and Bolton are fine with it — doesn’t make unconstitutional actions constitutional.
