The president said back in 2007, and so did VP biden, that the president has to confer with congress before taking action, unless the US is in imminent danger.
Long list of flips from Gitmo, to Iraq, to Astan to Giving Terrorist civilian trials, to drilling, Transparency. We have the hypocrite in chief as president. (feel free to add to this list in replies)
Biden also claimed in 2008 that any president not conferring with congress should be impeached. So how about it Biden are you going to Impeach Obama?

"The president does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation," he told The Boston Globe in 2007 in his presidential campaign. "History has shown us time and again … that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the legislative branch." |
