Reagan ignored the War Powers Act in Grenada for example. Also, in the bombing of Libya.
Again, my point is that the Constitution gives the President the authority to do what Obama is doing. It is Congress that is not doing its job. You can’t conduct policy via lawyers.
That is not true. He was in and out of Grenada in less than 60 days.

Blowing up people in Libya and refusing to recognize that what he is engaged in is an act of war?
I'm sorry, but if he refuses to call it war, then he is directing the military to engage in acts of murder.

Both were less than 90 days (60 days combat 30 days withdrawal).
On October 25, 1983, President Reagan reported on the use of 1900 U.S. forces to invade and occupy the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada. All U.S. combat forces were withdrawn by December 15 (i.e., ten days before the time limit the War Powers Resolution might be thought to have imposed).
On August 8, 1983, President Reagan reported that two U.S. AWACS and eight F-15 aircraft had been sent to Chad to assist that nation repel aggression from Libya.

How? Ws he in those places 60 days without consulting Congress? No, the law seems to imply one can do what they want, but must get approval for extended operations. Both of those examples were only hours and days long.
