If the Republicans decide to go to the mat by enforcing the war powers act, I (gag) support them.
It's never happened before and I doubt it'll ever happen again.
Congress needs to stomp out this unitary executive bullshit that Obama has happily inherited.

6. The War Powers Act has only been in force since 1973 |

Each president since Reagan has been more blatant in ignoring it than the one previous.
