Both Republicans and Democrats are angry with the president for failing to seek congressional authorization to intervene in Libya.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has rejected two competing measures on the U.S. military role in Libya,

The House rejected the authorization measure by a vote of 295 to 123. The vote has no immediate effect on the U.S. role in the NATO-led operation in Libya,

House lawmakers voted Friday against both resolutions — one to authorize ongoing U.S. military action in Libya and another to cut off funding for U.S. military operations there.
Mr. Gadhafi vowed this week to continue fighting and denounced NATO for airstrikes that caused civilian casualties.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met privately with House Democrats Thursday in a last-ditch effort to garner support for the Libya mission.
Some lawmakers accuse Mr. Obama of violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional approval when U.S. forces are involved in hostilities. But Mr. Obama says the three-month-old Libya campaign does not constitute “hostilities,” so congressional approval is not needed.
The funding resolution was rejected later by a vote of 238 to 180. The measure would have only allowed U.S. forces to remain engaged in non-hostile actions in the campaign against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces. Such actions would include search and rescue efforts,
