It looks like your CiC is doing his level best to stop people looking up to US as that universal authority.<br /><br />One other consideration: he (BHO) had a heck of a long time to prepare the needed Congress approval (or final disapproval, whatever) in advance.

This is, probably, why the fate has chosen US to be the de facto authority" Yes, this true. Since the world (despite what is says) seems to look to us and we do have the power do a whole lot righting of wrongs, it is for this very reason that the Constitutional authority question so important here and abroad. You must ask and answer the question: Just why does the world put so much trust (de facto or not) in the US to do the right thing. To those who will say "It's because you are the only ones powerful enough", I say why are we and you are not?<br />Don't get me going on the UN, I'll really start blathering.

The War Powers Act was too vague and could be misused by the Executive Branch (and has been), it needs to be defined or scrapped.
