@chrisgeidner only if time precludes going to Congress. There is no imminent threat here to our interests. -
@SteveSSanders While I appreciate your interest in having a constitutional discussion, that wasn't the issue I raised. -
@chrisgeidner I'm not sure the questions are separable. Moral nature of the threat may help determine authority. ? is who decides morality? -
@SteveSSanders Steve, my question was not about whether it IS constitutional. My question was based on Obama's premise that it would be so.
