I suggest that all pundits be certified as having taken and passed with flying colours a law school course entitled, "Conflict of Laws." The President took an oath of office and his office has wide obligations and corresponding powers when pursuing the defense of the country (not a personal enemies' list). I do not believe Congress can trump the President's effort to provide for the defense of this country - if there is an obvious conflict, then the Court is going to cut a wide berth in favor of the President, especially in light of 9/11 and the Congressional authorizations that grew out of that.

Yes, and impeachment is not on the table.
This conflict may be resolved by the Supremes or adjustments to the Federal Code by Congress.
Two different Attorneys General came to the same conclusion, that this was needed, warranted and legal.
They may have to defend that in Court.
