I checked and Reagan got an 18 month authorization for Lebanon. This was after we'd already put Marines there but before the limit required by the War Powers Act. I'm not going to bother checking the other Reagan/ Bush questions because I don't think they lasted long enough for the WPA to apply. Did Johnson go to Congress for to attack N Vietnam for the Gulf of Tonkin incident? Yes. Did Kennedy go to Congress to attack Cuba? He didn't attack Cuba. BTW the War Powers Act hadn't been passed in the Kennedy/Johnson eras. --------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW whatever other Presidents have or haven't done in the past doesn't change the fact that Obama is violating his OWN standard: "The President does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." Barack Obama
