The Iraq war was on the heels on 911. Also congress voted on the Iraq war.

I don't know if congress would vote to go to war with NK. I just don't see this catching traction.

I suppose Trump could bomb them without congressional approval, but he would have to get congressional approval for a sustained effort. Even if he does bomb them without congressional approval, there may be an awful backlash. If he creates WWIII, I don't know if congress will forgive him.
