Time for Congress to Declare War on Obama
AmericanThinker.com ^ | Jeannie DeAngelis

Posted on 11/18/2014 4:19:00 AM PST by RoosterRedux

America’s Styrofoam-cup-saluting leader is supposed to be “repelling sudden attacks,” not coordinating them. That’s why, however unconventional it may sound, Congress should consider this illegal raid against our sovereign nation, regardless of who the alien army’s leader is, an act of war.

During the Constitutional Convention, framer James Madison wrote that Congress should be given the power not to “make war” but to “declare war.” If promoters of congressional power are correct, doesn’t Congress -- whether they like it or not -- then have a moral responsibility to “declare war” on any force that initiates hostilities against the United States?

In 1863, the Supreme Court argued the Prize Cases. At the time, the court determined that the president “has no power to initiate or declare a war,” and yet 150-plus years later it’s President Obama who has initiated and declared war. Unfortunately the war he’s declared is against America.

That’s right -- the U.S. is grappling with a leader whose greatest achievement thus far is ruining the world’s finest healthcare system. Next on his agenda of destruction is to outdo himself by completely rejecting the clear midterm election message conveyed to him by the American people concerning immigration.

America has a Commander in Chief who’s gutting our armed forces, and although one aspect of the president’s stated powers is to repel invasions, this president is aiding and abetting an all-out invasion against our homeland. As a matter of fact, as each minute passes Barack Obama is adding numbers and manpower to an apostate force.

Nice idea, but any bets on what McConnell and Boner will really do?

Do not “compromise” with leftist revolutionaries.

IMHO

Declaring “WAR” on odumbo and actually firing the first shot will be two drastically different things. I do not see Bohner nor McConnell doing anything such thing, both a “Casper Milktoasts”. Nothing has nor will change.

The best way to declare war on Obama is to ignore him...

In January, Congress just needs to continue to send him the bill after bill that have been laying on Reid’s desk for years and he can either sign them or veto them....

Make him continuely be on the defensive...having to justify his veto...

At some point while biting his pillow at night he will give up and go play golf for the rest of his term...

“Declaring “WAR” on odumbo and actually firing the first shot will be two drastically different things.”

One gets the feeling that the Republican party suffers from the Stockholm syndrome after being subjected to so many years of Alinsky tactics by Progressives.

The results of the election should have given Republicans the cojones to use the political power they will have at their disposal.

(One can only imagine the Anthony-Wiener type shenanigans democrats commit in their daily interactions with Republicans.)

No compromise with leftist revolutionaries!

IMHO

I have an answer to that question but considering that we've got some standards of decency here it would get me banned if I posted it.

So just use your imagination and rest assured that they're not going to do anything 0bola doesn't like...

It's all just a big CJ (oops...) Sad but true.
