The Constitution makes offensive military action without congressional approval unconstitutional. The War Powers Resolution is unnecessary but consistent in that regard.

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

I agree with this statement 100%. Congress is always worried about their next election making decisions based on politics rather than what's best for the country/world. We need

The only thing “process” does for Congress is keep you in a paycheck. The “need more time” mantra echoes in the halls as you jump on plane headed for yet another vacation. Give it a rest whiner..,,
