Biden: Impeachment should be authorized for attacks w/o Cong. approval!

[240 is Back]

So, is "consulting with congress" the same as "letting them know" ?

His congressional involvement was probably an email...

maybe he's the decider too 

[Kazan]

if you don't like the war powers act get rid of it until then stop crying about it

Why don't you pry your head from your ass, and realize the POTUS just can't go attacking any country he feels like. What the fuck is the point of a constitution then?

[blacken700]

Obama observe the now 37 year old War Powers Act... which lets a POTUS act unilaterally in a fast changing situation such as this, but states that s/he has to get Congressional authorization within 60 days, extendable to 90 if circumstances require it:

[SEC. 5. (b)

Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is required to be submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1), whichever is earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required to be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has declared war or has enacted a specific authorization for such use of United States Armed Forces, (2) has extended by law such sixty-day period, or (3) is physically unable to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the United States. Such sixty-day period shall be extended for not more than an additional thirty days if the President determines and certifies to the Congress in writing that unavoidable military necessity respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces requires the continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about a prompt removal of such forces.]

Why don't you pry your head from your ass it's all legal

Gee what a surprise some fuckhead like you thinks this shit is funny. I hope they call a draft and send your sorry ass over there. Then we will see how fucking funny and legal it is.

[blacken700]

it's legal, just because you don't like it is not going to change it

[Kazan]

it's legal, just because you don't like it is not going to change it

How is it legal, what is the immanent threat to America?

[Fury]

Are you a lawyer? No, you're an uneducated high school dropout leeching off Uncle Sam. You're most certainly not an authority on the legality of Obama's actions.  

[Soul Crusher]

If Gadaffi stays and wears everyone out - we will be so far in a worse mess in the larger scheme its not funny.     

[blacken700]

are you a mommy's boy? yes ,do you still live with your mommy? yes. so until you go on your own shut the fu#k up  :

Gaddafi isn't going anywhere, Obama thought he would run like Mubarak, he didn't. Now you have coalition falling apart and Marines heading for Libya ( along with the 2 amphibious assault ship already there). Its fucking amateur hour

It's a pathetic show run by children. Obama just seems to babbling now with little realization of what he is actually speaking about and what his words actually mean in international relations.

International credibility of multiple nations and the West as a whole is on the fucking line here. Obama has already stated that there will be no ground forces in action against Libya....which is another fuck-up because he just took an entire hammer off the table and telegraphed the entire thing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is a clusterfuck and it will still be a clusterfuck even if the Col. is forced out.

[tu_holmes]

This is going to be obama's undoing.  This is incompetence on a whole different level now.  

  

Oddly enough, I agree... This has actually made me WISH the republicans would put up a good candidate in 2012 so I can vote for them.

I wonder what he thinks today?  I guess his views have evolved.
