Obama [ believes he is allowed to order bombing of Syria without congress ]( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/09/obama-speech-isis-campaign-congress-approval ) . If the president is allowed to bomb any country if he can convince it to accept some "noncombat" US troops, the requirement for Congressional approval of war is almost completely negated. Congress is inclined to approve this campaign, but it should demand to be asked so it can say yes.
