  A sitting American president is never going to commit military forces without the consent of Congress? > During the 20th Century, forces were sent by various presidents into countries such as Nicaragua to suppress rebellions without asking Congress. During the Cold War, dodging Congress not only continued, it increased. For example, the Korean War, which the U.S. was involved in for three years, was never officially authorized by Congress. > In 2011, President Obama's failure to get Congressional approval for U.S. military actions in Libya raised accusations from both parties. http://www.infoplease.com/us/government/war-without-congress.html http://www.infoplease.com/us/government/war-without-congress...

    Oh and don't forget initiating covert actions in pretty much every South American country, Iran, and others.

      Yep, what the intelligence agencies got up to is quite astounding and I see no reason to not think are still doing that stuff we just won't find out for a while what they are doing now.
