Stopping al Qaeda in Iraq. Bombing the Assad regime in Syria. Preventive strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Helping Ukraine fight off Russia. Containing China in the western Pacific...Can President Obama launch U.S. forces into conflict on his own constitutional authority? Or does he need Congress’s permission to act first? Does international law constrain the White House’s ability to start a war? As crises erupt around the world, Professors Alberto Coll and John Yoo will debate the Constitution’s balance of power between the President and Congress over war.
