If your argument is that a president does not have war powers under an Authorization of Force Resolution, make it and then ask your question. Since the OP is that the pres broke the law, the affirmation is your duty to make.
It sounded like you said that 'in times of war' a President can do pretty much whatever the hell he wants and Congress can not limit his powers to do so. I just pointed out that it is the Constitution that defines a President's limits. I also pointed out that Obama violated the constitution / Law, as spelled out in the article, by releasing 5 US Enemy Combatants / Terrorists without notifying Congress as he was required to do and mis-used funds to do so.
Obama did not violate the law or the Constitution. During time of war, he is the Commander in Chief, and he is cloaked with immense power. So he makes the decisions. Congress can pass all the laws and resolutions it wants but so what,.
REPORTER TO SUPERJAKE: Jake, can you explain how a President, under the constitution, can do this?
SUPERJAKE: Of course I can because I went to Harvard, was tops in my class, but you can't see my grades so don't even ask.
The clause is, (drum roll please) "The immense powers act!" {lolololol} This act, is a super secret squirrel act that all lefties use. You can use it also, if you become a pointy headed lefty, and get caught in an argument you can not win. This is where you invoke your super, secret, squirrel powers, and repeat Immense powers, immense powers, you are a racist, you are a RWer, immense powers. All the other squirrels (lefty nuts) then join in, and the crescendo grows....immense powers, immense powers..........until everyone believes it, even you.
Such is the power of the secret squirrel, and friends of the secret squirrel.
REPORTER TO SUPERJAKE: So are you saying Obama is, or belongs to the secret squirrel society?
SUPERJAKE: Absolutely not, he is the messiah, messiah, messiah, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, it is not a tax, messiah, messiah-)
