Where’s Congress?

John McCain: Libya vote unlikely (McCain attacks the Constitution, supports Obama’s Libya war)
Politico ^ | 2011-05-11 | Meredith Shiner
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday he does not believe Congress will act before the May 20 deadline to authorize military engagement in Libya and he does not “recognize” the constitutionality of the War Powers Act that sets the timeline, in any case.

“No president has ever recognized the constitutionality of the War Powers Act and neither do I,” McCain said. “So I don’t feel bound by any deadline.”
