I know congress is required to pass a war powers resolution authorizing conflict.  Can you point to the law that requires the president to stay there?

While reseaching can you locate the authorization to go to Syria?

I found this which seems to indicate that Congress never authorized us to be in Syria to begin with.  So again Oblamer broke the law, bypassed congress to start his own war with Syria.  So now they are voting to keep us in a war/authorize military force that was never authorized?

The Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against the Government of Syria to Respond to Use of Chemical Weapons (S.J.Res 21) is a United States Senate Joint Resolution that would have authorized President Barack Obama to use the American military to intervene in the ongoing Syrian Civil War. The bill was filed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on September 6, 2013 in a specially scheduled pro forma Senate session that took place during the last week of the August recess.^[1] The bill would have authorized only 60 days of military action, with the possibility of a one-time extension of 30 days.^[2] The bill would have specifically prohibited the use of ground troops. However, this bill never received a floor vote in either the House or Senate.^[2]
