what is interesting is president obama who used that authority 11 times already to protect areas on land never used it in the ocean and what it reflects is a renewed focus on this driven by two members of his administration, john pedesta his counselor and john kerry, both of them were looking for the president to do something big and symbolic on this issue. >> and i refer in the introduction to some opposition voiced by republicans. are they seeing this differently from what president bush did? >> the question, i talked to chairman hastings about this, and one thing i asked is since president bush actually created the initial monument in 2009, i asked him whether he had voiced concern then. he replied that he had not been on the natural resources committee at that point. but there was very little outcry from congressional republicans when president bush undertook several steps to declare parts of the ocean off limits. >> start with you, joshua reichert, what does it mean to declare a wide swath of ocean a monument? what will not or what will happen? how do you protect or do that? >> the

the 2001 post-9/11 authorization to use military force, that shouldn't apply to that group in iraq. under the war powers resolution of 1973, president obama has authority on his own to deploy u.s. forces on a short-term basis, provided he notifies congress, but that unilateral authority only lasts for 60 days. if congress doesn't authorize those troops. president obama's notification to congress about the couple hundred new troops he just sent into iraq to protect the u.s. embassy and u.s. personnel there, that notification was sent to congress on monday. it lasts for 60 days. so there's 56 days left to go on that. but then what? i mean, constitutionally, there really is no way around the fact that congress has to put its money where its mouth is. the power to use force, the power to authorize using force lies very specifically in the hands of congress. congress does not really seem like that want that responsibility. none of them do. coming out of yesterday's meeting, house democratic leader nancy pelosi put out a statement saying this.
