That authorization specifically does not pre-empt the War Powers
Resolution, which I read as requiring consultation with Congress before introducing US forces into a theater of operations unless there is an emergency.

Authorization for Use of Force following Sept. 11 attacks.

War Powers Resolution.

No doubt Congress intended the powers of the President to be broad following the 9/11 attack.

Now that we have a better understanding of the parameters of the actual enemy, I doubt Congress is willing to give even Bush continuing carte blanche for operations within the US.

That's why the War Powers Resolution requires Presidents to continue to consult with Congress, so they can reel him in if need be.
