No he didn't. Congress did when they abdicated their Constitutional responsibility by passing the War Powers Act. But, since Obama did go to war under that illegal law, that kind of makes him an accessory, don't you think?
No, I don't think so. Mainly, because Congress didn't pass an illegal law. It's no more illegal for Congress to pass the War Powers Act than it is for Congress to pass a declaration of war.
Prior to WPA, there were no restrictions on the president to deploy combat forces. The WPA was intended to restrict the president's power, not enhance it.
