29. Yes, but he DID get Authorization from Congress
The asshole sought it two weeks before the first national election after 9-11, and swore up and down that it was just a last resort kind of thing which wasn't his intent at all, but he DID square himself with the Constitution.

I'm not at odds with you here, but I would personally request your analysis of the ongoing sparring here, especially the reading of the War Powers Act, Reid v. Covert, the idiotic misuse of Missouri v. Holland and the UN Participation Act.

I think Obama clearly broke the law, and should cover his ass very quickly.
