You suspect incorrectly.
I'm guessing it was the Republicans that most supported the WPA. Feel better?

the right liked the changes right until a non republican won office
Holy freakin' smokes. This place is like an asylum. Is everything distorted and stretched and twisted and scorched until it is unrecognizable?
I mean, come on, I know politics is bad but a few days back here after a long absence is like walking into bizzaro world. The people HERE think Washington is crazy?
So.....Bush should have been impeached? The invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal?
it should be noted again, that only TWO presidents have broken this quasi-law. Clinton and Obama. Nothing will come of impeachment proceedings. It's all a pony show.

Congress was illegal in those cases. Rather than voting for or against war, they voted to give the President the right to determine if war was necessary. It was a monumental passing of the buck and there is no room in the Constitution that allows for that.
Ever president has follwoed the war powers act of receiving congressional approval over the 60 day mark except two presidents. Clinton and Obama.
He broke this quasi-law, like it or not. He did not get approval from congress.

Okay, so when Bush did it, it was Congress that should have been impeached, for giving him the option. When Obama does it, it's him who should be impeached for exercising the same option.

Korean War
In the United States, the war was initially described by President Harry S. Truman as a "police action" as it was conducted under the auspices of the United Nations
The Truman administration also faced internal criticism regarding its commitment to anticommunism at home. Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin had recently begun his infamous hunt for communists within the U. S. Government.
only Two ??? how about Truman and Eisenhower, the joint venture -

What is Congress going to do?
Play politics with it, gain as many votes to stay in office and then.......NOTHING.
And they wonder why people become fanatics for Ron Paul. Listen to what he is saying and consider the crap that our politicians do on a daily basis.
War Powers Act passed congress in 1973 there, time traveler.
US Constitution - September 17, 1787
Section. 8.
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

You'll not put hypocrisy in my mouth. It was NOT okay what Bush did. Secondly, what Bush and his Congress did was a different offense that what Obama and his Congress did. Both are impeachable offenses.

What is the difference in composition between "this" Congress and "that" Congress? "This" Congress cannot rationally impeach Obama for exercising a law, because most of them were part of "that" Congress, that embraced the then President exercising the law.
