What are legal and historical arguments for and against Trump's strikes on Syria? How would the action pass constitutional muster?
Author Summary

Post Body

Yesterday Trump officially ordered strikes on the Syrian government, without authorization from the United Nations or Congressional approval.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the move? How does the strike reconcile with the War Powers Act? What is the legal support that Trump's Cabinet believes--do they think the 2001 AUMF confers such powers?

How might concerned members of Congress address the President's executive decision? Historically, how has Congress responded to unilateral executive exercise of "police actions" or troop deployment?
