"If President Obama follows the practice of post-WWII presidents, he may use military force without consultation or authorization from Congress. If President Obama follows the letter of the War Powers Resolution, he may use military force for 60 to 90 days without congressional authorization. If President Obama follows the Constitution, he must secure congressional authorization before using military force. Presidents of both parties have not been held to constitutional standards for several decades."
there is enough there for an impeachment trial--the 1st black president bwill be held to constitutional standards
