You know, I remember making this argument way the hell back when the War was merely a potentiality. Sporting of ol' Hill to come up with a phrase as concise as "inherent authority".
Little Known Fact: The Korean War never officially ended; we've just maintained an armistice for 50 years. By the same token, the 1991 Gulf War never ended by any kind of treaty agreement, merely a cease-fire dependent on Saddam fulfilling certain obligations. It isn't like Bill Clinton asked Mother-May-I whenever he felt the need to bomb Baghdad Beardy.
Or did they vote authorizing Desert Fox? Clinton lied, people died!
