No, this did not bypass the law. Presidents have the legal power to send troops without authorization from congress in this sort of situation.

The President is the commander in chief of the military, but only Congress has the authority to declare war. The US frequently deploys the military without declaring war.

Executive orders increase Congressional power and weaken the powers of the presidency?

The use of executive orders is often used due to political roadblocks; President Obama resorted to making multiple cabinet appointments this way after the GOP refused to vote on his candidates, or even bring his nominations to the House floor for discussion.
