Patrick J. Buchanan tells Newsmax if President Obama decides to attack Syria without Congressional authorization, he would be engaging in "what would clearly be an impeachable act."
"The key figure is Speaker of the House John Boehner, who should call the House of Representatives back into session on Monday and instruct the president directly: Mr. President, you have no authority and no right to launch acts of war against Syria against whom we have not declared or authorized any war.

If only!!!!
This might be over by Monday.
Boehner is overpaid and not strong enough to stand up to anyone in Washington.
I listened to Ann Coulter on the Sean Hannity show and unfortunately Obama does have the Constitutional authority to strike. Congress can refuse to fund such an idiot adventure however.
There is a very -- very -- long list of things that ought to follow those 4 words. But such ruminations are pointless.
I’m so tired of hearing people like Buchanan and also recently Coburn say.. ah hah if he does this or that Obama could be impeached!
I’d like that as much as the next guy but it ain’t happening!
He has done PLENTY to be impeached already and the gop-e continues to kiss his ass.
Barry Dunham would effook a wet dr3am! What an idiot - he couldn't think himself out of a wet paper bag.
Barry wouldn’t be impeached if he killed a squad of girl scouts on the White House lawn with the cameras rolling and then barbecued them. Only 2017 or his passing away will rid us of him.

So Coulter believes in absolute monarchy — one man rule?
Sorry, I stick with the Constitution, which gives Congress the authority to declare war. (And don’t tell me that bombing another country that hasn’t attacked us, and isn’t on the verge of , attacking us, is not an act of war)
Ann Coulter is a Constitutional lawyer and a brilliant woman. I’ll stick with her on this. I don’t want a strike for those al Qaida rebels any more than you do; however, I recognize America elected an idiot (among other things) for President and we have to live with the consequences.
LOL! Unfortunately, murder on the White House lawn is not an impeachable offense.
ZZZZzzzzzzz...

fine, I’ll stick with the Constitution.
I could have misunderstood, and I’m sure someone will let me know if I did, but I was under the impression that the president could only circumvent Congress if the US was under attack. And then only for a certain amount of time.
Of course, Libya set precedent. No one said squat...therefore the insanity continues.
As CIC., he can order the military to strike Syria. But he cannot declare war without an act of congress.
I’m sure the Founding Fathers would have tightened up the language a bit, had they ever envisioned the possibility of someone like Obama ever becoming president. Cant’ really blame them though; as recently as 2008, I was convinced that the electorate would reject an overtly anti-American Marxist.
I was wrong. Twice.
A pity “precedent” usurps the rule of LAW.
Dennis Kucinick said pretty much the same thing tonight on some TV show - get enough on both the right and left saying it, and it just might gain speed.....
At this point the it may be to the republicans advantage to let Barry continue to soil himself at every occasion.
The real problem is not Obama. It's the misinformed, shallow, people that elected him.
If the majority continue to elect candidates like Obama, anything else that happens will be meaningless.
yeah, and everything up to now hasn’t been?!?
