Obama’s Betrayal of the Constitution - NYTimes.com

"Senators and representatives aren’t eager to step up to the plate in October [to vote on a “war with ISIS”] when, however they decide, their votes will alienate some constituents in November’s midterm elections. They would prefer to let the president plunge ahead and blame him later if things go wrong. But this is precisely why the War Powers Resolution sets up its 60-day deadline: It rightly insists that unless Congress is willing to stand up and be counted, the war is not worth fighting in the name of the American people."
