      [2/2] ... means he should still pursue a military response even if Congress votes it down, right? Seems he set himself up there for that.

      @chrisgeidner His moral imperative is to obey the Constitution.

      @SteveSSanders And he said he believes he has authority to act w/o specific congressional authority.

      @chrisgeidner he can believe whatever he wants. There's no clear answer. Question is what's consistent with Art I and II.

      @SteveSSanders The point is that, if his belief is what it is and he believes there's a moral imperative to act, shouldn't he act?

      @chrisgeidner the framers didn't commit war powers to the exec's personal moral assessment. Absent imminent actual threat to us, I say no.

      @SteveSSanders My pt is if Obama thinks he has authority to act and thinks we have a moral imperative to do so, shouldn't he do so ...

      @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.
