Law suits and the President

So, in 1998 during the Clinton Administration, Congress declared it the express will of the US Government to both (i) remove Hussein from power and (ii) promote a democratic government in his stead.
They also EXPRESSLY authorized the use of "Military Assistance" in several guises, including the authorization of "defense services".
Now, I will grant you that this initial act does not appear to authorize the full-on invasion of Iraq (this comes later - please recall folks like Kerry, who voted for it, until he didn't).
Yet it does 2 things.
1) It authorizes the initial use of "boots on the ground"
2) It establishes the the Federal Government has been eyeing the removal of Hussein by much more than "economic" measures for some time long before the presidency of big, bad "Lyin King" George
