Too many to list.
Military action started in Iraq sometime between April to June of 2002 and Bush didn't get congressional authorization until October 2002....thats five months after military action had already started. So Bush broke the law but hey, you voted for him so that makes it okay, eh?
.
In case if you are unaware, technically we have been at war with Iraq as soon as Saddam Hussein tried to assassinate President G.H. Bush.
Iraq never surrendered during the first Gulf War, only a cease fire agreement was signed and Iraq violated that cease fire agreement over a hundered times just during the Clinton administration. Why do you think President Clinton ordered so many Tomahawk cruise missile attacks against Iraq ? How many times did American and British aircraft attack Iraq during the Clinton administration ? We were still at war with Iraq.
Technically under international law, America is still at war against North Korea. There never was a surrender or a peace treaty signed. Just a cease fire agreement.
BTW: What was happening during the 1980's doesn't fall under the War Powers Act. There was a lot of weird #### happening back then and "Black Ops" don't fall under the War Powers Act or when U.S. military personnel are TAD to CIA or other black ops are consider to be military operations. Only a few in Congress are aware of these operations and they are responsible for oversight.
Some things are best to be left aloan. Some times you see something that doesn't jive, it's best to walk away or you could end up like Col. Sabow.
There are those in government who took an oath and are given a mission and they are so dedicated on accomplishing that mission they just don't ignore the Constitution but will commit murder to accomplish that mission.
