Using that logic every law on the books is un-Constitutional.

Former U.S. attorney general Michael Mukasey

Glad this moron is now interpreting our laws.

[CitizenUSA]

From what I know of the law, I actually agree with former U.S. attorney general Michael Mukasey that it is an unconstitutional limit on the chief executive’s legitimate military powers. However, President Obama did sign it into law.

So... why did Barry-O sign an unconstitutional law?

[jiggyboy]

“Article II [of the U.S. Constitution] makes him the commander in chief of the armed forces.”

Ah, “If the President does it, it’s not illegal.” I’ve heard that one before.

The law is not unconstitutional until it's declared as such. Besides which, constituional lawyer Obama would not have signed a law he thought was unconstituional, would he?

Obama's supporters and enablers are coming up with some weird reasoning. I wonder if what Obama is doing is deliberately alienating all but his inner circle so he can do what he darn well pleases as long as that small group are okay with it.

 Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. ... If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

The word “unconstitutional” is being bandied about quite often these days but that is all that happens.

No one dares to take the appropriate legal response.

Mukasey: Obama broke unconstitutional law with Bergdahl swap

Umm yeah and the Reagan Administration broke an unconstitutional law that began the Iran-Contra scandal. So now that we have a precedent Congress knows exactly what to do. Shall we proceed accordingly Mr. Mukasey?

[BitWielder1]

NOW they care about a law being unconstitutional, when it suits them.
At most other times, the constitution is "just a piece of paper".

[justa-hairyape]

Hey Dude !

Obama broke a law that he himself signed.

Do you know what that means, dude ?

His signature is worthless.

His word is useless.

And the4 entire world knows this now.

His only successful ? negotiations in the future will be with terrorists.

No one else can trust him.

[Tau Food]

Well, the weakest thing to do is to claim the President is disregarding the Constitution and then not impeaching him for it. The House has the sole power of impeachment. If they don’t exercise that power here, it is because they don’t really believe that the Constitution is being violated or because they see themselves as moral cowards and unworthy of their positions as Congressmen.

The List?

[TigersEye]

0bama has broken at least four laws with this swap.

Treason - aid and comfort to the enemy.

The 30 day Congressional notification NDAA H.R. 1960 Statute - taxpayer dollars were spent to remove these prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.

Then there is giving material assistance (human assets) to a non-state terrorist organization.

And fourth the U.S. Policy and Response to Terrorists which says that the US “will make no concessions to terrorists. It will not pay ransoms, release prisoners, change its policies or agree to other acts that might encourage additional terrorism.”

[PoloSec]

Impeachment is a powerful word, one that most thinking presidents would have at least some fear of...not obama, he has a much more powerful word, that makes republicans shrink, shrivel and cower in fear...RACIST!
