Will you re-elect Obama Admin to White House when they violated the War Powers Act?

Postby osbourne » Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:49 am

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) announced Wednesday that they are suing Obama in federal court over the constitutionality of leading the U.S. into war with Libya without seeking Congressional approval. Specifically, their lawsuit challenges the executive branch’s circumvention of Congress and its use of international organizations -- namely, the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- to authorize the use of military force abroad.

"With regard to the war in Libya, we believe that the law was violated," Kucinich said in a statement. "We have asked the courts to move to protect the American people from the results of these illegal policies."

You have a nerve. Discussing violation into wars. Id be quiet if I were you. People can still be prosecuted and sentenced. Memory lapsed. The Bush Cheney debacle.
