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 …

@justinamash If we have to seek congressional approval to ACT ON EXISTING AGREEMENTS, then the agreements have NO TEETH. They are USELESS. -
These agreements are not self-executing. They require further congresional action because Constitution requires full congressional approval.

@justinamash Only for all-out WAR. The US is NOT going to war! Requiring congressional approval to ACT per agreement, VOIDS that agreement. -
I'm pretty confident that if Russian missiles destroyed a U.S. air base, you wouldn't be arguing that it's not war.

@justinamash Russians have no reason to act that way. We did. Look at a small sample of debate over War Powers: http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/war_powers

When has Trump cared if something is constitutional?

You don't understand Trump. He loves his country! Working for FREE to revitalize her! He swore an oath to defend Constitution!
