Especially notifying members of the House who have a history of actively hindering the president. Expand He doesn't. He does have to inform them "in a timely manner" explaining why he didn't tell them, which he did at 9am. Not sure how "you leak like a ***** sieve" went over with the Democrats, but it is what it is.

Expand The 'leak like a sieve' comment was just to get them riled up (which means they will - quite predictably - say something stupid in response.) Same with the hyperbole he used in describing al Baghdadi's death.

Expand The War Powers Act also allows the President to start a war, as long as he informs Congress within 72 hours. But in terms of ordering the military to do something, the President has unfettered authority. That goes back at least to the Great White Fleet - Teddy Roosevelt wanted to send the US Navy on a world cruise, Congress refused to fund the coal purchases, so Roosevelt ordered them to sea and dared Congress not to buy them fuel. And it probably goes back further than that. I don't recall Congress authorizing Lincoln's call-up of the state militias for the Civil War, and I'm almost certain Congress never authorized the Indian Wars. And America's longest war (the Banana War in Nicaragua, 1912-1933) didn't have any Congressional approval. 1
