Power outage: Libya war shows limits of War Powers Act

I would genuinely love to see this issue hashed out posthaste. I think that impeachment would be a lovely way to do so. We're a little busy at the moment, but this is also a very pressing national matter with long-ranging implications for generations yet to come.

I agree with impeachment. You just cannot fix stupid. So the one term president Obama has got to go.

I am not saying anything other than I think impeachment is the appropriate place to settle the matter. I am not advocating that we make Biden the PotUS.

Also, Iw ould like to see the WPA all but scrapped.
 
they're not deliberating in the house, they're voting

indeed, they've voted, past tense

the white house really pushed for this authorization

House rejects Obama's Libya policy - Jonathan Allen and Seung Min Kim - POLITICO.com

hillary met with the caucus yesterday, and this morning donilon summoned progressive leaders to the situation room for a 7 am session

donilon is the national security adviser whose promotion, upon the retirement of james jones, defense secretary gates considered "a disaster," according to bob woodward

donilon is presumably one of the politcos surrounding the president whom jones referred so famously to as "water bugs"

fyi

Why bother to impeach if you do not intend to remove the offender?

As I noted in the section you quoted and responded to, "I think impeachment is the appropriate place to settle the matter."

I don't particularly "intend" anything in re Obama's continuing in the WH. I think that the matter needs to be settled. Idc where the chips fall. I have no love for a Biden presidency and I do not advocate it even though I realize that it is a possible result.

To me, it's more about the law than about the man.
 
But would Biden be any better???
Were President Obama impeached, he still remains the President. It would take 67 senators to vote for conviction to full remove him from office, and I think we can both agree that there are nowhere near the votes necessary for that.

True enough... the democrats in the Senate who are angry at the usurpation of executive powers would not vote to remove one of their own...

It's now nearly 120 days since the President committed armed forces to Libya and still no offical call for impeachment by either chamber of Congress. But...

What we do have are two proposed House resolutions:

A) one directing the President to remove all ground forces from Libya except for search and rescue, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaisance, aerial refueling and operational planning; and,

B) the other granting a one-year extension under the same limited conditions as outline in the above resolution and a requirement that the President continue to report back to Congress on all matters related to Libya and U.S. military involvement.

Hmmmmm....what was that about impeachment again?
 
no, no impeachment

a little bit of talk about impeachment, tho, which is never real helpful

but mostly, bottom line, it's his war, he can do what he want, he's president, but he owns it

days not weeks, anyone?

nato not us?

no "hostilities?"

nation building?

party on, peaceniks

this prez knows exactly what he's doing, a real pro
 
Let's start with "What the hell are we doing in Libya?" It's got OIL. Who behind the scenes has the power to get us involved in this abortion? Why don't people ask this question. Preventing civilian killings by killing a bunch of civilians. Anyone who buys that bullcrap is retarded, but why don't the citizens want to know what is really going on and who the power brokers are? Screw the War Powers Act and find out the truth about what's behind this invasion. Wake up.

Who are we siding with?

They're a mix of sincere democrats, loyalists to the old king, tribal networks and Al-Qaeda affiliates.
