Original Note:
The retaliation for Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea is not “unconstitutional”. The President may initiate limited military action without prior approval of Congress, as long as he reports to Congress, in writing, within 48 hours. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1543 https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:50%20section:1541%20edition:prelim https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/01/11/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-coalition-strikes-in-houthi-controlled-areas-in-yemen/
