I’m getting some blowback for suggesting that this argument about congressional authorization is a dodge, but I honestly believe that it’s inevitable that the congress will approve it if they decide to take it up. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if they take it up.
This is happening. It has been happening with regularity since 1991 under presidents of both parties regardless of congressional approval.
We have been fighting in Iraq in one way or another for 23 years.
