As of Wednesday evening, 116 members of the House of Representatives—18 Democrats among them—have signed a letter to Barack Obama insisting that any strikes against Syria must first be authorized by Congress.
The letter asserts that a strike without Congressional authorization would be unconstitutional. The leader of the group, Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA), said, “Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”
