But does Obama even need the approval of the Congress?

I'm sure you will remember this:

Sen. Sessions at a Senate Armed Services Committee, questions Panetta and Dempsey, regarding Congressional approval, as opposed to the "International Community", for the so-called ‘legal basis’ for military action.

Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971. He said today: "What's urgently needed right now -- today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday -- is people contacting their Representatives in their home districts and in D.C. demanding, first, that Speaker John Boehner call an emergency session of Congress immediately, and second, that there must be no presidential military attack on Syria without a Congressional resolution authorizing it." See: "192 Reps., Including 73 Democrats, Call for Debate & Vote Befor...." 

    Ellsberg added: "Without Congress back in session by Monday or Tuesday, it may be too late to stop a disastrous intervention by President Obama. A mere letter -- no matter now many signers -- or individual expressions of dissent by Representatives not in session will not do it: debate, hearings, evidence under oath and a Congressional vote are essential."
