A Kenyan born citizen can declare war when ever he wants.
He’s not bound by our constitution.

Substitute “Bush” for Obama and ask the question.
The War Powers issue is a non-starter for me. All Presidents have done the same thing that Obama did.

We need to reign in the Executive power back to its Constitutional bounds and this includes the power to wage war. Arbitrarily starting wars is a sign of dictatorship regardless of the party in power.
The problem is Congress won’t enforce its own War Powers Act and the people, not touched by war’s devastation and loss, are blissfully ignorant.

Is Obama's Use of Military in Libya Constitutional? Not in the United States of America.
Maybe in France?

It’s rather silly to ask if a usurper’s actions are constitutional. If Obama was qualified for the job, then his actions would be legitimate, despite his questionable capabilities and motives.

The House of Representatives holds the funding for any such operation. If they don´t like it - and they were purposely ignored for the Libya operations - they can cut off funding any time.

Obama should be impeached.
Poor O’Reilly spun like a top earlier this week as Dennis Kucinich tutored him on the constitution.
O’Reilly’s inclination was to blow off the Constitution, but poor, old, liberal Kucinich spoke the truth. Congress alone has the power to make war.
The president is, essentially, General-In-Chief.

What Obama did is unconstitutional. He never consulted congress and launched military action against a country that has not attacked us.
He also ceded our sovereignty to the UN, thus violating his oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution.
Impeach him!

This constitutional issue was raised and decided by the Supreme Court during the Viet Nam era. In essence, the Court held that, even without a formal declaration, Congress had authorized the Viet Nam War by resolution and by providing funding for military action. Eventually, a Democratic Congress dominated by anti-war radicals cut off funding and South Viet Nam collapsed under assault from North Viet Nam.

Since when has the Constitution stopped a President from going to war?
