I don't think you are right. I think that by having Congress authorize even a limited response, Obama has an out. Either Congress does (which I hope it doesn't), and Obama can say he followed the Constitution for a limited strike, or it doesn't, in which case, Obama can say he follow the constitutional process.
​
In either case, he is making sure that the members of Congress are not playing Tuesday morning quarterbacks.
