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.

Since I am unaware that they have, please give me examples. I don’t think Clinton did, but Bush and Bush Jr. got Congressional approval.

Substitute “Bush” for Obama and ask the question.

Is Bush's Use of Military in Libya Constitutional?

When exactly did President Bush, either one of them, invade Libya?

[Just A Nobody]

P.S.

All Presidents have done the same thing that Obama did.

Who did President Bush invade/bomb with only a single protracted UN resolution, 2 "broad coalition" partners and no discussion with congress, let alone their approval?

Seriously...who and when? I must have been in a coma at that time.

Care to back that up with facts? Bush never did 'the same thing.'

The War Powers Act gives him the authority. I hate to see Freepers and callers to conservative talk radio even go down that path just because a Democrat is CIC - sounding more like their Liberal counterparts of a few years ago.

Now is it the right thing to do, offering military support in another countries civil war? That could and should be debated, and there is no easy answer.

[Durus]

No...they have not. Name one that did.

That is not true, and you damn well know it.

First of all there was the Iraq liberation act of 1998 from the 105th Congress Source

And unlike the arrogant pos, who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. President Bush went to Congress and Congress authorized President Bush to use force against Iraq, pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, in Public Law 107-243.

0bama never went to Congress, instead he want to Brazil to give Brazil $3 billion so they can drill offshore, while our oil companies are prevented from drilling in the Gulf.
