In seeking approval from Congress, President Obama has the opportunity for greater bipartisan support. This will also allow time to gather additional support from the international community (assuming there is any).

Of course the President, and Congress don't have any obligation to poll the people democratically about anything, but to go to war, the President does have to ask Congress for a declaration of war, or now the modern variation of it sought by Jr. Bush twice.

No, no, Kerry made it clear that he was not asking America to go to war. Instead, he is just asking to bomb it to hell and back. War will only exist in the minds of Syrians, Iranians, and Russians. Everyone else can plainly see that this is anything but a war, that is, in the minds of people like John Kerry.
