You requested someone "sight the laws", whatever that means. I cited the congressional authorization given to the president, and its stipulations.
Below is the link to said authorization. So what is your point? Are you guys seriously this ignorant of the facts?

Because the "war" is a ****ed up mess and political poison, and everyone knows it. They want to seem like they didn't fall for the administration's ruse about supposed Iraqi WMD and ties to Al Qaeda, but a lot of them did.
Yes, but the point is that many Dems voted for the above authorization. The authorization that you said the President did not have........
None of those were technically wars. They were military campaigns. A declaration of war isn't needed for a president to use military force. But unless it's an emergency, the president does need permission from congress in some form. That's what I quoted in my previous post.
