Tom Cotton Reminds Wailing Dems of 200 Years of Military Operations Done Without Congressional Approval

Teeth-gnashing Democrats have been whining and hitting CNN at every opportunity to criticize Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran that took out virtually their entire command structure, saying that the mission is illegal and demanding that it stop until Congress can vote on authorizing it. - Bob Hoge
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), however, had some fresh reminders that such operations are nothing new, and in fact, 

• the Dems’ idol, former President Barack Obama, helped bring down Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, 
• and Thomas Jefferson sent the U.S. Navy and Marines to the Mediterranean to take on the Barbary pirates in 1801.

The Constitution gives the power to Trump to do what he did, Cotton said:

Rapid Response 47

@SenTomCotton

: President Trump has the inherent power under our Constitution and as Commander-in-Chief to use military force to keep our nation safe...Obama toppled Gaddafi in Libya 15 years ago without a vote of Congress...the difference is that

@POTUS

is attacking a 47-year, implacable enemy.
