OK, I think I found what the administration is relying on - Congress authorized the use of force in order to implement UN Security Counsel Resolution 678. In that resolution, Article 2 authorizes member states (that's us) to use all necessary means to restore international peace and security in the area.

We have not yet restored international peace and security in the area. Saddam agreed to UN weapons inspectors, but reneged on the agreement.
