Uhm, Ok.

Well, this thing called The War Powers Resolution, requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding a presidential veto.

It provides that the U.S. President can send U.S. Armed Forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, “statutory authorization,” or in case of “a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”

If we were to pull a Brill Crinton like Kosovo would anyone care?

Personally, I don’t care if Asaad drops his people in woodchipers....en masse...

Assad has basically been a problem only to Israel but was handled well. He is preferable to any replacement.

“The War Powers Resolution”

You scream constitution while supporting that unconstitutional law.
