Obama now a Criminal Under US law. Democrats Call Him Greater Warmonger than W
Today is the 60th day of American military action under Obama against Libya.
The 1973 War Powers Act, which says any military action over 60 days must get congressional authorization, has now been violated.
The president formally notified Congress about the mission in Libya with a letter on March 21, which makes Friday May 20th the 60-day deadline.
Administration officials have not felt compelled to seek out permission and inaction has now angered lawmakers from both the left and the right.
Rep. Brad Sherman, D-California, said he believes Obama is trying to “bring democracy to Libya while shredding the Constitution of the United States.”
He cannot continue what he is doing in Libya without congressional authorization. When a president defiantly violates the law, that really undercuts our efforts to urge other countries to have the rule of law.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, concurs.
“You could say, ‘Well, we have a good president, he’ll do the right thing.’ Well, someday you may have a president who does the wrong thing, and that’s why you have rules, because you can never count on people being good people,”
President Bush did seek and receive congressional authority for Afghanistan and Iraq prior to launching those missions.
“Make no mistake: Obama is breaking new ground, moving decisively beyond his predecessors,” Yale law professors Bruce Ackerman and Oona Hathaway wrote this week in the Washington Post.
Some congressmen have openly wondered if this combined with the suspicious birth certificate revealing are a precursor to a coup d’état.
A journalist for the AP spoke to chrisTwire under the condition that he be allowed to rename anonymous.
It’s obvious that this overseas military buildup, combined with the oddly time capture of Bin Laden, provided a distraction to end the speculation of his Kenyan birth. After the midterm-election fiasco, it’s clear that he may need to weaken and deplete the military so that he can call up minority populations to overthrow the government before the next general election.
America’s economy is in shambles due to this warmonger; do we really want him as our African King?

Literally 1 president has followed that law since it’s founding. The president, who I can’t remember the name of now, was not George W.

It was Nixon during Vietnam. They basically TOLD him to “commit or quit”. They enacted it OVER his veto. Was Nixon a…*GASP*…Conservative Republican?
(Unbelievable, it wasn’t a LIBERAL who caused this Act to be put into place. HA!!)

Huh, seems one of “your own” feels YOU are wrong. Even Sen. John McCain doesn’t agree with the Act.
“The War Powers Resolution itself has been a touchy subject between the legislative and executive branches since it passed. Some members of Congress, like Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, argue that the resolution is unconstitutional, and therefore, the president is justified in continuing the mission in Libya without Congress signing off. “No president has ever recognized the constitutionality of the War Powers Act, and neither do I,” McCain said last week at a press conference.”
It would appear that IF McCain had been elected and IF he had turned his attention to Libya’s cry for help, HE would have most likely done the SAME thing. Boy. Hindsight really IS 20/20, huh.
Oh yeah. Here ya go…

Bush never broke that law. Neither did his dad or Regan. Not once. Clinton broke it once, but it was ruled that congress approved funding, so they approved the action.

“Bush never broke that law. Neither did his dad or Regan. Not once.”
You’re right, they didn’t. That’s because Congress okay-ed it.
So, you’re going to call a reputable news source like U.S. News and World Report AND Sen. McCain that they are wrong, Mr. Weisz? If Obama wants to continue to “support” the rebels WITHOUT actually setting foot in Libya, Congress will most ASSUREDLY approve it. (It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than spending 6 years looking for “nonexistent” WMD’s and the lives lost.)
You seem to feel that we should just allow this dictator to go about his merry way now. Do you NOT realize the number of Libya’s people will be killed…….by their OWN government?
“It’s clear that he may need to weaken and deplete the military so that he can call up minority populations to overthrow the government before the next general election.”
It’s clear that you have come up with another fantastic fabrication. No self respecting reporter would EVER make a statement like that. What would stop YOU from using his name ANYWAY. Unless he is a complete idiot who doesn’t care about his job or his reputation. Well, there’s that and the fact that it’s absolutely OUTRAGEOUS.

Bush broke the law repeatedly with his illegal warantless wiretapping, and his illegal detention of American citizens in Gitmo without trial without charges without representation.
Bush made more illegal and unconstitutional “signing statements” than any president in history.
Bush broke American and International law by sanctioning the TORTURE of prisoners.
Bush was/is a criminal who spat on the constitution and did whatever he felt like doing.
He should be in Jail.
You and your false god bush will all be held accountable one day.

Yeah, the civilized man doesn’t murder innocents when the enemy is clearly in front of him. Considering how many innocent people were sent to Gitmo under Bush’s orders, he’s a criminal through-and-through.

I can’t believe the liberals are still obsessed with President Bush. It’s Obama’s turn in the spotlight, stop looking for old bogey men in your closets, leftwingers.
And this information is absolutely important. Obama is clearly once again breaking the law and should be punished for it.
