      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 …

      It's bogus. International law and treaties cannot override constitutional requirements, and our troops were not attacked or endangered.

      .@justinamash I normally support your positions on most things, but not on this one. We have the right to act per existing agreements.

      No, we don't. President and Senate cannot bypass House with respect to war powers simply by adopting a treaty. Absolutely unconstitutional.

      .@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 Look at history of both declared & undeclared wars, both of which have been supported by Congress: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Clause …

          .@justinamash Whether or not an act is an act of WAR is up to congress, who have given support to MANY "undeclared" wars since Korean 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
