      No, War Powers Resolution does not allow president to launch offensive strikes w/o congressional approval. Read it: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1541 …https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/850809269893160960 …

      That's like your opinion man.. especially given that he just did without approval.

      That's not my opinion; it's a statute.

          It's just your opinion on how that statute is being interpreted.. a politician's legal opinion is never biased of course

          The language isn't complicated. The United States wasn't attacked, so the situation meets none of the criteria for the president to strike.

          The only remedy to the president ignoring statute like this is impeachment. Which I'm sure Rep Amash is filing for tomorrow. Right?

          I think the point is, what are you going to do about it? A rule is only as strong as its enforcement.

          the problem is that the US government hasn't enforced it the last 8 years.

          We're not screwed. We've had constitutional crisis before. People just have to acknowledge it and vote better. Reject partisanship.

          And he has 90 days to report to Congress, it's part of the war powers act.

          The president just reports to congress action he's already taken? I don't think that's accurate reading..
