Walter Jones: obama if you start anymore wars without Congressional approval

[TakeAStepBack]

Exactly. It's a moot point. Executives don't "break the law" here anymore. They just change it to fit the agenda at hand.

 

[Synthaholic]

The fucking idiot doesn't know that all Obama's actions are founded in treaty and existing law. I hope this brain dead idiot tries to impeach. I guess he didn't know that Kadafi is a known terrorist, in spite of Bush trying to kiss his ass.

There is no Treaty that I know of that gives the president authority to go to war without congressional approval. If so site the source.

Did Congress declare war on Iraq? No.

YES...it did...

"The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,[1] Pub.L. 107-243, 116 Stat. 1498, enacted October 16, 2002, H.J.Res. 114) is a joint resolution passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing military action against Iraq."

So try again.............

I hope Republicans remember their anti-war stance when they get another president elected. President Obama could not get congressional approval to put out Boehner if he was on fire.

It's not anti war it's anti unconstitutional war.

Is it that you're too fucking stupid to understand the Constitution? What proclaimed Obama war wasn't authorized by treaties that we've signed, years ago.

Are you a dimwit?

We are going to impeach your ass.

Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

I wonder if this clown knows that Bush invaded Afghanistan without Congressional approval...Oh, and dumbass....we're still there.

What's even stupider is making the claim that Bush invaded Afghanistan without congressional approval.
True story

Here's what is dumb. YOU

Congress, more specifically the Senate, never declared War on Afghanistan, and that wasn't required. Using military force =/= declared war, and there is NO constitutional requirement for there to be a declared war before US forces can be deployed. In fact in over 180 military actions through our history only FIVE have been declared wars and that has nothing to do with who's in office at the time.

Obama can do no wrong. Therefore, whatever Obama does is right.

Good luck with that.

too funny for words.

 

[KissMy]

Did Congress declare war on Iraq? No.

So "WAR" has not been declared since "WAR" was banned by the UN after WWII.

Congress did Authorize the use of Military Force Against Iraq.

If it was Bush you progressives would have a field day though. it's fine if your team does it. Fuckin' pukes.

[bigrebnc1775]

Goddamn peacenicks.

Fuck-n-A

Love it or leave it traitor!

Hahahahahaha. Just kidding.

God, I've alway wondered what it would be like to say that.

According to the WPA the president can introduce troops any where in the world he wants, no congressional restrictions for xxx number of days.

Pull the troops out of Lybia damn it. Bring them home, now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's 60 days by the WPA. Obama breached that and claimed he did not need congressional authority. He is in violation and therefore, subject to impeachment proceedings. Should the ceremonial congress wish to flex its power. It wont though. Bush II gets the pass from the left wing idiots.

That's not the way the WPA works.

He had 60 days to inform Congress - which he did.

Then, they have to schedule a vote on it - either vote yes, or no. They never scheduled a vote.

There's no "impeachable" offense here.

I know you will provide a source.

Bush did not kiss Qaddafi's ass. After Congress authorized the “War on Terror” against any nation Bush decided was involved in terror, Qaddafi started kissing Bush's ass. After two decades of international pariah status, Libya committed in 2003 not only to forswear terrorism and abandon its weapons programs but also to reveal those programs to U.S. inspectors. In the process, Libya divulged secret procurement networks and allowed U.S. and British intelligence specialists to compare their analysis of Libyan proliferation against actual facts on the ground.

Incorrect. The entire Congress passed a RESOLUTION, which is not legally the same thing as a Declaration of war. A small, but significant difference.

That doesn't count, because the Dumbest Shrub in the World fooled all those witty, urbane, intelligent Democrats.

Well... how does anyone expect an impeachment proceeding to happen? I know that Clinton showed up and infamously answered some questions BUT.... since then, there is a new precedent that was set. The Bush / Cheney White House introduced the new law of the land that the executive branch DOES NOT HAVE TO SHOW FOR CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS. Dick Cheney along with 5 or 6 others in the Bush White House were in contempt of congress for quite a while and the DOJ elected not to prosecute them for not answering subpoenas. So.... as long as the executive branch controls the DOJ, if we ever do have another impeachment situation, how do you guys expect to compel anyone to show? We have precedent. The executive branch no longer answers to congress.... even when they DEMAND AN ANSWER.... if the President says "no, no one from here is showing up", he then simply instructs the DOJ not to prosecute anyone and congress can kindly shove their worthless subpoena up their rectum.

Thanks President Bush!

(Yes, IT IS Bush's fault)
