You are talking about a different situation, Teabag. Syria is not Iran...
The same presidential power exists. He has 48 hrs. to notify Congress and 60 days to complete whatever action he is taking before he needs congressional approval to continue. I didn't say I agreed with it. These things shouldn't get started without a congressional declaration.
Just so you know, I'm happy Trump called off the strike. I thought we were going to have another Gulf of Tonkin moment. Bolton being the new McNamara. Cooler heads prevailed. That's a good thing.
Tell me, why wasn't everyone all upset when Obama involved the American military in Lybia without Congressional approval?
