The legal problem is entirely hypothetical. No one has standing to challenge an executive foreign policy action like bombing Daesh. If Congress did have such standing, GOP hawkishness and Dem solidarity with Obama would cause them not to exercise it. Nor is there a higher level entity--other than the electorate--to appeal to.
Unfortunately(?), the executive isn't, for practical purposes, bound by normal rules--with regard to foreign policy.

Is there something I'm missing?
