Question to Americans on DC protocols
 

Question to Americans.

Can a US president by himself authorize a military strike on another
country that is of zero threat to US or its citizens? Does not the
president need Congress in on this? Did Obama just break the law by
launching cruise missles and war/invasion support against Lybia?

This isn't a question of if you agree, the question is was law and
constitution laws adheared to or did Obama just break the law?

Under the provisions of the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president
has to formally notify congress with 48 hours of his actions, and can
commit U.S. forces for up to 60 days without authorization from Congress.
