    People falsely assert WPR unconditionally lets president act w/o approval for 60-90 days. No, only for *defensive* action per §2(c), item 3.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/896018592432619520 …

    War Powers Res does not allow president to take *offensive* military action without congressional approval. People routinely ignore §2(c). pic.twitter.com/y9u7v3sQUS

        So your interpretation is that we have to wait for a missile to hit or hope we have at least enough warning time to get Congress to say yes?

        It appears #GOP "leaders" don't care about Congress' constitutional powers. If NK doesn't warrant an emerg session of Congress, what does?

        It's also about not wanting to be held accountable for a vote to give authority. Too bad the #Constitution doesn't care about that.

        "Defensive" is a solid, million dollar weasel word though. I wish I had any faith it would be strictly construed as you're suggesting.

        Isn't it true that this line between what's considered *offensive* versus *defensive* action is relatively undeveloped re: executive power?

        People want badly to believe that their president is a king and can command the military on his own whims.
