Sorry, one more thing: The fact that the Democrats love exercising unconstitutional power and are hypocrites about it to boot means exactly what?
Either the Constitution is in force and we support it or it is obsolete and we should disregard it.
What “Obama” did, or Clinton did, is beside the point.
What exactly does basing US military personnel outside of the UnitedStates have to do with violating the War Powers Act as you imply ?
The war powers act is, to me, so obviously unconstitutional that I don’t include it in my comments on this subject.
Sending a force of the size and scope that MACV turned into simply illustrates the point that going to war without Congress being fully committed leads to defeat. And, of course, is also unconstitutional.
But your post implies that basing US military forces outside the US is somehow violative of US law/Constitution ?
However, since the Left seems to be using the WPA against the President, since he is not one of them, then it would seem his actions are no violative of it.
The War Powers Act, officially known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973, is a federal law that limits the U.S. president's ability to engage military forces without congressional approval. It requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of military action and restricts military engagement to 60 days without a formal declaration of war from Congress.
The entire ‘Arab Spring’ all across the region was a CIA operation, concocted by Obama and Hillary. It was a total fiasco. Got rid of stabilizing leaders in the region only to have them replaced with more radical and more dangerous ones. That gave rise to ISIS and all the other whackos being controlled and financed by Iran...........
