Re: White House: Limited Role in Libya Means No Need to Get Congressional Authorizati
The trouble with your questions are again the apple and tree frog type comparisons. The US is not invading Lybia on a pretext, outside the UN. As linked some time ago, there is question about what he has to as part of a UN mission. HAd he invaded Lybia like Bush did, sought to occupy the country and change regimes, building a base there, like Bush did, then you would have a proper comparison.
You don't even need to explain with these answers. All you need to do is say you agree or dissagree.
1. Candidate Obama submitted a written response to the questions so it would be reasonable to expect that he was clear and complete on his positions/opinions. Agree or disagree?
2. Candidate Obama was clearly asked to assume that the theoretical bombing was not a situation that involved stopping an imminent threat. Agree or disagree?
3. Candidate Obama clearly stated that the President does not have the power “under the Constitution” to “attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation”. Agree or disagree?
4. Candidate Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor at Harvard University so it would be reasonable to expect that he understands that the War Powers Resolution can’t supersede the Constitution unless it is an actual amendment to said Constitution. Agree or disagree?
