So given the chance to vote on the action, how would you have voted and why? Haven't heard your answer to this yet.

It’s the duty of the executive branch to make the case to Congress and present evidence. They did not even attempt to do that, so the only appropriate vote would be no.
-
Given that our congress can't accomplish anything in shorter than months, sometimes years - I'll take results over process. Fix your house and make it functional and maybe we can begin to follow the process again.

I’ll take process first any day. Favoring results over process is the same as holding that the end justifies the means. Process versus results reflects the main difference between America (process-focused) and despotic regimes everywhere (results-focused).

Yep - I understand your position. In this instance, I 100% agree with the chemical weapon response and know it would have never happened if debated and ultimately voted upon. Congress is too slow and political as it stands now - totally dysfunctional.

Unilateral offensive military action against a sovereign nation by the exec. branch without congressional approval is illegal, unconstitutional, and undermines coequal branches of govt. These types of actions have gone unchecked too long. Time for some accountability
-
I hear this stated every time it happens, which has been many times. Is there any action in the courts to decide this issue once and for all? If not, why not?
-
Agreed that it’s a broken record, happens over & over with impunity under Dem & Rep admins alike. Law is written clearly, nothing to decide, rather just enforce the law as is. The rest of congress needs to grow a backbone and demand just that

Constitution means nothing Today! Presidents don’t obey or enforce, Congressman & Senators don’t even know it! Supreme court just find ways around it. You Wonder why our country is dying? Bring back our Constitution & You Will

Sorry Justin. Congress is BROKEN. The POTUS can commit forces for up to 60 days. You can spin the War Powers Act all you want for political purposes. I do not remember Obama going before congress asking for permission for this little gem either:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/19/barack-obama-orders-raid-kill-80-islamic-state-terrorists-libya/ …

Amash didn’t support Obama’s actions in that case. Also, you are literally arguing with a sitting U.S. congressman about what is legal and constitutionally allowed; are you delusional?

Read up and learn something and stop being such an apologist for a RINO. https://twitter.com/ThomasWictor/status/985249613677391872 …

What recourse do the American people have for this breach of our constitution that could draw us into a massive war and cost young Americans their lives?
-
None because there is no breach.

On Obama and Libya “When there is no imminent threat to our country, he cannot launch strikes without authorization from the American people, through our elected representatives in Congress,” wrote Representative Justin Amash.https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/22/world/africa/22powers.html …

Seriously. Amash is one of the few people in Congress who is actually consistent.
