...it's a political question if we're talking about holding him accountable to this law; one which has always had a loophole wide enough for a lengthy stretch of warring before Congress can weigh in.

I want to say that republicans aren't likely to go along with any limits on his authority right now, but I'm not sure this is a done deal because this should be hitting Americans like a rock to the head.

At any rate, they'll need some 7 Democrats to continue past 30 days - not to mention more of the money they've been blowing through with the reported hundreds of missiles launched, each a small fortune.

What I've been thinking is that, with the attacks by Iran on others in the region, he may put together a coalition of those U.S. interests to keep the money flowing, so we may well see him continue beyond what Congress authorizes or wants.

Like you said, he does what he wants in this present political equation, with relative impunity.
