(CNSNews.com) – Congress’ summer recess ends on Monday and lawmakers plan to waste no time in challenging the administration over its approach to the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS/ISIL).

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) intends to introduce a joint resolution on Monday requiring President Obama to present a strategic plan to “defeat” ISIS, and creating a short-term authorization for the use of force to achieve that goal.

A day later Secretary of State John Kerry will face the House Foreign Affairs Committee to answer questions about how the administration plans to deal with ISIS.

“This president has clearly stated that he does not have a plan to deal with the growing terrorist threat from ISIL,” Issa said Thursday. “We cannot sit idly by as ISIL continues to target and brutally murder Americans while threatening U.S. interests and those of our allies. My resolution requires the president to promptly communicate a clear and concise plan to combat ISIL.”

On August 7, Obama informed Congress he was authorizing airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq, under the War Powers Resolution. That 1973 law allows the president to commit armed forces to military action, in the absence of a declaration of war, for 60 days.

(The 60-day period, which expires on Oct. 7, may be increased by 30 days if the president certifies to Congress “that unavoidable military necessity respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces requires the continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about a prompt removal of such forces.”)

The resolution Issa will introduce will require Obama to present to Congress a comprehensive strategy to “stabilize the region and defeat the ISIL threat,” he said.

It will provide Obama with a 120-day authorization to use military force against ISIS, to protect American interests and prevent the group’s further expansion.

“It’s time, Mr. President, to choose action over inaction, to execute a plan over rhetoric, and to protect American interests,” he said. “The defeat of ISIL must be a top priority.” Keep reading

He's only got 2+ years left on his term. It'll take him longer than that to contemplate his plan, let alone, prepare to implement it.

Precisely, Algernonpj: "what has ISSA planned to do if Zero refuses to comply. Smack him with a wet noodle. Make him walk around with underwear on his head."

The resolution, even if passed, is a complete joke.
