Bush was given the ability to do whatever he deems necessary to fight terrorism after 9/11.

I do believe that if he can tie his action to fighting terror then he can legally make his decision independently of Congress.

Many people were aghast by what Congress did by allowing Bush such authority but it was in the post 9/11 era and the public was "running scared" at the time.
