The problem is, the authorization sets the POTUS up as the determinant of who fits that definition. Note the language...

"[T]he President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned..."

Yup. And the check and balance on the President is the ballot box. If the people object to how he's using that authority, they can unelect him, or Congress can impeach him.

worst check and balance...ever. "Get rid of that guy and his policies! arg!"..."we want that guy with the same policies arg!"
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.
