WAR POWERS ACT

According to the President, he does not require Congress to sanction US involvement in the Libyan war since it is of very limited scope.

I have not read the War Powers Act in depth but I doubt that it is written so that Congressional approval is not required due to the "limited Scope" of US involvement. This appears to be another step by the President to invalidate the role of Congress and, effectively, usurp power. Soon we (the US) will not need Congress for anything and the new dictatorship will be able to control all aspects of the Government.

Congress and maybe even the Supreme Court needs to stop the Administration's actions, here, and in many other areas of Governance before it is too late to reverse this trend.

The only step available to Congress that I am aware of to curb the President's power grab is to cut off all funds for the war effort.
