Remember, The Obama. Himself, said, specifically:
If He does not follow the law, will you support a call for His impeachment?
President Barack Obama's war in Libya, and Congress' inaction, show War Powers Act is not effective - chicagotribune.comUnder the War Powers Act, President Barack Obama had until Friday to get congressional authorization to continue U.S. military operations in Libya. But the day passed without his even asking for it, which means he has to disengage within 30 days. Obama may not heed that requirement either.
Obama is on the horns of a dilemma. As a candidate, he said the president does not have the power to go to war on his own except in cases of actual or likely attack. But if he were to ask Congress to authorize the Libyan intervention, he would probably be rebuffed. So he's chosen to simply ignore the law
Remember, The Obama. Himself, said, specifically:
http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2011/03/18/libyaThe President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
As Commander-in-Chief, the President does have a duty to protect and defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent.
If He does not follow the law, will you support a call for His impeachment?
