Congress hasn't authorized war against Syria. Unless Pres Obama expects imminent attack on U.S., use of force is unconstitutional & illegal.

@librab103@repjustinamash but does the president need a congressional approve eventually or can he just continue from the intimate attack? -
@anondia@repjustinamash he has 48 hours to notify congress of his plans and 60 days of forces on the ground without congress approval! -
.
@librab103@anondia Your assertion remains false. Has anyone making this claim actually read sec 1541(c) of the War Powers Resolution? -
@repjustinamash@DoubleEagle49@librab103@anondia Sec. 1544(b) is (sadly) the operative section, w/a fig leaf check in (c). 60 days>> -
@AlanTonelson@DoubleEagle49@librab103@anondia That is simply not correct. Every section of WPR must be read in light of sec 1541(c). -
@repjustinamash@DoubleEagle49@librab103@anondia <<military force w/o a declaration of war or any other Congressional authorization.>> -
@AlanTonelson@DoubleEagle49@librab103@anondia That text accounts for possibility of defensive intro for natl emergency, i.e., 1541(c)(3). - 3 more replies

@repjustinamash@Smart_Sapper12B I thought NDAA eliminated the need for congress when dealing with terrorism. -
@pokergod420@repjustinamash@Smart_Sapper12B NDAA and who we consider terrorists is a joke. -

@repjustinamash The War Powers Act is irrelevant if the president wants to attack a state and NATO gives the president cover, e.g. Libya -
@DPrabhata@repjustinamash constitution always over rides international treaties or law.
