Reply #27: Anything Obama does is good and correct; why is this surprising?

If it happened, and he did it, it must be legal and pure genius; it's the code of the true believer.

It doesn't matter that the War Powers Resolution only lets the President introduce forces after a Declaration of War, an Authorization by Congress or in response to a literal attack. He sent forces, thus he must have had the right to do so and it is a good thing.

It doesn't matter that, unless there's a Declaration of War, the Congress MUST authorize forces to be in action after 60 days. He's doing it. He sent a memo on the very last day requesting such a thing, but only after there was too much dispute afoot on the subject, and it STILL doesn't get the necessary vote of both Houses of Congress in time. He's doing this; it must be right.

It's quite simple, really...
