Could you imagine the daily outrage and calls for impeachment from republicans if Pres Obama did decide to unilaterally put US troops in harms way without the authorization of republican controlled congress? Imagine the feigned rage from o'reilly and cruz and mccain's blow hard wife every time a service member died -- "there is dead american blood on the president's hands!!" ... words like treason would be used.
Are republicans actually trying to spin this back at the Pres by saying he should have just violated the Constitution?
Wow.
maybe republicans should have put partisan politics to the side for once and worked with the Pres on this one.
