Byron York: Last resort: When all else failed, Obama went to Congress
"One factor that could complicate President Obama’s effort to win congressional authorization for his plan to attack the Syrian regime is that, despite the constitutional requirement to seek Congress’ permission before an act of war, doing so was apparently never the president’s first choice. In fact, it appears it was his last resort.... It was only after it became clear to Obama that he could not win acceptance in other, preferred, circles that he chose to go to Congress." I thought it was "extraordinary" and "history-defying." [rdbrewer]
