President Obama might strike the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad even if Congress fails to authorize the use of military force, administration officials told The Daily Beast Saturday. Then again, he might not.

Following Obama’s Saturday address, during which he announced he had decided the United States “should” take military action in Syria and also decided to seek Congressional approval, administration officials clarified to The Daily Beast that they can’t rule out the president might act even if Congress fails to authorize the action of using American military force in Syria. Officials declined to speculate whether Congress would vote to authorize military action or not when it comes back to Washington.

In his prepared statement, Obama didn’t say explicitly whether Congressional approval or disapproval would be a determining factor if and when he does decide to strike Syria. In fact, he asserted that he believed he had the constitutional authority to take the action without such approval.

No means NO, Mr. President.

IF Congress votes No and the president orders the military strikes on Syria anyway, this 2-time Obama voter will join the calls for his impeachment.
