^Caught in a lie so what do you do? Lie some more.
Nope! Just led you to where I wanted you to go, the far left easy to do that with!
All it did was show the GOP will question their own, unlike the far left, that means you!
It was two senators. Mark Meadows was on his knees as were most Republicans.
However your claim was that the whitehouse was keeping Congress updated and you called me a liar. Well, I didn't lie, the whitehouse isn't being open with Congress and that is a problem.
Why would congress need to know the details about an operation inside of a war zone, that has been a war zone for many years?
lol- WHAT?
The Constitution of the United States divides the war powers of the federal government between the Executive and Legislative branches: the President is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces (
Article II, section 2), while
Congress has the power to make declarations of war, and to raise and support the armed forces (
Article I, section 8). Over time, questions arose as to the extent of the President's authority to deploy U.S. armed forces into hostile situations abroad without a declaration of war or some other form of Congressional approval.
Congress passed the War Powers Resolution in the aftermath of the Vietnam War to address these concerns and provide a set of procedures for both the President and Congress to follow in situations where the introduction of U.S. forces abroad could lead to their involvement in armed conflict.
Conceptually, the War Powers Resolution can be broken down into several distinct parts. The first part states the policy behind the law, namely to "insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities," and that the President's powers as Commander in Chief are exercised only pursuant to a declaration of war, specific statutory authorization from Congress, or a national emergency created by an attack upon the United States (
50 USC Sec. 1541).
The second part requires the President to consult with Congress before introducing U.S. armed forces into hostilities or situations where hostilities are imminent, and to continue such consultations as long as U.S. armed forces remain in such situations (
50 USC Sec. 1542). The third part sets forth reporting requirements that the President must comply with any time he introduces U.S. armed forces into existing or imminent hostilities
(50 USC Sec. 1543); section 1543(a)(1) is particularly significant because it can trigger a 60 day time limit on the use of U.S. forces under section 1544(b).

donny was REQUIRED to notify congress with in 48 hrs of that strike
he did not
donny was required to give a specific reason with verifiable evidence
he did not
only that it was an 'imminent threat'
it was determined
that it was not & he et al have since backed off that 'reason'
going so far as to tell those congress critters that they should not question the order.
