Constitutionally obligated? No, no, no. This authorization to use military force goes completely against the Constitution. The Constitution says that Congress must declare war. Not hand off all kinds of extraordinary powers to the Executive Branch.

the govenment, via the congress, has the obligation of national protection, if the congress deems that the circumstances mandate that some authority be given to the exec branch in order to effectivly protect the country, then that act is completely in concert with the constitution.

you may disagree with that, and you can take it up with the SCOTUS if you like, but there is nothing unconstitutional about it.
