The lap dog MSM didn't remark that last week, when the White House initially responded to Congress over the War Powers Act both the senior legal adviser to the White House and the senior legal adviser tot eh Pentagon told Obama that, in their opinions, the War Powers Act did apply.
Since it wasn't the answer that the President wanted he ignored them and made up his own rules that justified his position.
Unfortunately, this isn't a new act for a liberal/progressive/socialist/dimocrat President. Bill Clinton did the same over Ilian Gonzales where the administration when to an inferior court to justify their raid since more senior courts, that had jurisdiction, refused to issue the armed search warrant.

He doesn’t have to and he probably couldn’t explain to you why it is unconstitutional. He was a constitutional professor like Jayson Blair was an investigative journalist.

Categories: Human Nature, International Relations, War
Date: Unknown
It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that the nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it, nay that absolute monarchs, will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for purposes and objects merely personal.

So how much longer before the executive order comes out changing his title from “President” to “Chairman”?
To: BobP
he looks like a drunk in that pic...look at how dirty his shoes are...
probably from constantly stepping on people or throwing them at Americans...

President Barack Obama told reporters he does not have to answer the question of whether the War Powers Resolution is constitutional. So speaks the constitutional law professor/lawyer.

What a shame......I was looking forward to his answer, what with his being a Constitution scholar and all....I thought we’d get at least one new chapter for the Federalist Papers out of his elegant response.
