I don’t understand how you can say that. OF course it is...not head chopping here, just stating facts. He did not follow the war resolutions. There has to be an attack on the U.S., Statute passed by congress, or a War Declaration.....none of those apply. UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Am I missing something?

I say it because it is the law of the land. This is what Congress said in the War Powers Act of 1973:

Sec. 5 (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), at any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.

This section is a tacit admission that the POTUS has the power to use military force without a congressional resolution or declaration of war.

Now that says nothing about Odipsticks wisdom or hypocrisy but it is the law of the land.

Congress has the power to pass a law tomorrow and shut him down and they should.

Hopefully though after we kill Ghadaffi since we owe him some 5.56 in the head for past deeds.
