The President had all the authority he needed to punish those who attacked us that day. The AUMF was not necessary.
There was every reason to punish them, but little reason to launch an invasion and occupation halfway around the world. Twice.
I’m sure by punish them you meant take away their dessert, right?
Yeah I'm sure ol' Binnyboy was asking that same question "Are you here to take my dessert?" as Obama's special forces blew the ***** brains out in Pakistan.
Obama’s special forces. That’s funny. He cut military spending and cut military numbers down. The only thing he did was weaken our military. Thankfully Trump corrected that. Get a clue moron

President Obama was the Commander in Chief was he not?
There are two main reasons for the spending drop. The first is the Obama administration’s decision to start removing U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. The second has to do with a process known as sequestration.
Sequestration refers to the framework for automatic, across-the-board cuts to both military and non-military spending that were originally designed to force bipartisan negotiators in Congress to strike a deal in 2011. When negotiations fell apart,
the cuts went into effect.
We still have the most powerful military in the world by far.
Republicans blamed President Carter for the Draw Down after Vietnam too. Even though it was Congress who mandated it.
History repeats.
