it's basically that they welcome the white house -- the white house welcomes authorization from congresshat it needed it, to be consistent with the war powers resolution. and to be clear, what that law says, is that the president can commit troops overseas for up to 60 days. and then if he doesn't have authorization, those troops need to be withdrawn, within 30 days. well, that deadline is upon us here in just a few days. that 90-day deadline. so the explanation from the white house, from senior administration officials, is that because they say they're operating in a support role, that they're not operating in a role where there are a lot of, i guess, hostilities in terms of the statute. hostilities is a very important word in the statute. it's called imminent hostility, troops not subject to harm, that they feel like they are within the realm of it being all right for them to have troops without congressional authorization. but here's the thing if talk to some legal experts, they'll say to you this law that was adopted in 1973, they feel that president obama is in violation of it. if n
