Can a US president by himself authorize a military strike on another
country that is of zero threat to US or its citizens? Does not the
president need Congress in on this? Did Obama just break the law by
launching cruise missles and war/invasion support against Lybia?

This isn't a question of if you agree, the question is was law and
constitution laws adheared to or did Obama just break the law?
