If Congress votes no to action in Syria, and President Obama goes ahead and bombs anyway, he may very well be the third President Impeached by the US House of Representatives, but more worrisome, is that he may actually be the FIRST US President to be Impeached and then actually convicted and removed from office by the US Senate sitting in Jury.
Read this article, then let me know if you agree:
John Kerry: Obama Can Bomb Assad Even If Congress Votes No
A Constitutional Crisis, like no other, would ensue.
I don't think it would be so much of a constitutional crisis as much as it would be a political crisis. He would still have to come back to congress after 60 days, technically, and ask for continued support. Should he not do that, then I think you would have a better argument.
That being said, Congress could try to impeach him, I just think they would lose.
