What happens to a President that has started a war, like what Trump just did, without congressional approval?

Nothing lol, because we've been getting around that by not actually declaring war for a long time. Technically the War Powers Act is supposed to stop that loophole, but instead everyone just ignores it. A lot easier to get away with when it's just strikes like this too - drone strikes and stuff haven't required approval either.

yes, under the auspices of Bush's 2001 AUMF,

(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.

which is pretty vague and wide reaching, but i dont think it would cover syrian airfields.

does he consider the ummah an organization

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

I thought the War Powers Act gives Trump the power to do this, as long has he tells congress within 48 hrs and asks for approval if it lasts longer than 90 days. And assuming that Congress, the press, and the loving ship that shot the missiles collectively came all at the same time when this started I'm guessing thats not a hard approval to get.

So outside of something crazy like Syria formally declaring war on us, it seems like there's really nothing anyone can do about us just blowing up an airfield and walking off into the sunset, yeah?
