House Votes to Scold Obama on Libya

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has adopted a resolution rebuking President Barack Obama for dispatching U.S. military forces against Libya without congressional approval.

The vote was 268-145. The White House objected, saying the measure was “unnecessary and unhelpful.”

The measure by Speaker John Boehner says the president has failed to provide a “compelling rationale” for the nearly 3-month old operation to aid rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi’s forces. Democrats and Republicans complained that Obama ignored Congress’ constitutional authority to declare war.

The nonbinding measure insists that Obama provide Congress with details on the scope of the mission and its costs within 14 days. It also bars U.S. ground forces except to rescue an American service member.

Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Florida, had the following to say today on the House floor:

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

Republicans and Democrats scolded President Barack Obama on Friday for dispatching U.S. forces against Libya without getting congressional approval as the House moved toward approval of a resolution demanding a rationale for the mission.

Nearly three months after Obama launched air strikes against Moammar Gadhafi’s forces, the House held the first significant debate on the conflict as it considered two resolutions – one by anti-war Rep. Dennis Kucinich to end U.S. involvement in the NATO-led operation and another by Speaker John Boehner insisting on information on the scope of the operation and its costs within 14 days.

The GOP leadership hastily pulled together the Boehner resolution amid concerns in both parties that the Kucinich measure was gaining ground. The House is likely to approve the Boehner measure that chastises Obama for failing to provide Congress with a “compelling rationale” for the Libya operation.

The Senate had no plans to consider the measure, which would allow the U.S. to continue to remain engaged in the mission and would have no impact on the logistical and intelligence support the Americans have been providing.

Boehner said too many questions remained unanswered.

“Today‘s debate on Libya is the first step and clearly there’s information that we want from the administration that we asked for in this resolution and it’s information that we expect to get,” the Ohio Republican told reporters. “But there isn’t any question in my mind that Congress is going to take further action in the weeks to come.”

The White House pushed back against both resolutions, with spokesman Josh Earnest calling them “unnecessary and unhelpful.”

Earnest insisted that the administration has been consulting with Congress since before Obama ordered air strikes.

“It is the view of this administration that we’ve acted in accordance with the war powers act because of these regular consultations,” Earnest said aboard Air Force One en route to Toledo, Ohio.

But lawmakers faulted the commander in chief for ignoring both Congress’ constitutional authority to declare war and the 1973 War Powers Resolution that requires congressional authorization within 60 days of military action. That deadline expired last month.

“Shall the president, like the King of England, be a dictator on foreign policy?” asked Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. “The authors of the Constitution said we don’t trust kings.”

Republicans and Democrats have been frustrated with Obama’s treatment of Congress, particularly the level of consultation and details on the scope of the Libyan mission and its costs.

“What did he do, send a tweet to the chairman of the Armed Services and Intelligence committees?” Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., asked mockingly.

Obama ordered air strikes in March to back Libyan rebels battling Gadhafi’s regime after limited consultation with Congress. More recently, the United States has operated in a support role as the standoff continues between Gadhafi’s forces and the rebels.

The president has argued that he acted to prevent a massacre in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, and he had the backing of several lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee.

Initially, the military operation was largely constituted of U.S., British and French naval and air attacks, with the United States taking the lead. NATO took charge at the end of March and U.S. forces now play a support role that includes aerial refueling of NATO warplanes and intelligence, and surveillance and reconnaissance work. The U.S. also flies unmanned drones over Libya.

Obama said when he ordered U.S. forces to support the mission that there would be no American ground troops. Although no U.S. military forces are present, The Associated Press and other news organizations have reported that the CIA has paramilitary officers operating alongside rebel forces in the North African nation.

    I have been calling my congressman every week since Libya asking why they keep letting the Executive branch reduce their power to nothing. I have reminded them that if there is no accountability to upholding the law and the constitution with something as huge as starting a war, then there is nothing to stop the Executive Branch into becoming a dictatorship. This war on Libya is an impeachable offense. If it was a good idea to start war with Libya, Reagan would have done it a long time ago. This measure is a good start towards impeachment. The congress persons that voted against it need to be harassed by constituents until impeachment proceedings begin.

    From Bad To Worse: Half Of Last Month’s 54K New Jobs Came From A Single Employer — McDonald’s…

    (Weekly Standard) – According to the unemployment data released this morning, the economy added only 54,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. However, this report from MarketWatch suggests data is much worse than that:

    McDonald’s ran a big hiring day on April 19 — after the Labor Department’s April survey for the payrolls report was conducted — in which 62,000 jobs were added. That’s not a net number, of course, and seasonal adjustment will reduce the Hamburglar impact on payrolls. (In simpler terms — restaurants always staff up for the summer; the Labor Department makes allowance for this effect.) Morgan Stanley estimates McDonald’s hiring will boost the overall number by 25,000 to 30,000. The Labor Department won’t detail an exact McDonald’s figure — they won’t identify any company they survey — but there will be data in the report to give a rough estimate.

      This should be the biggest news story of the day along with the decision by the Supreme Court of Indiana last last week allowing for Officers to barge into a house without a warrant.. Seriously America what’s it going to take? If this is America then I’m James Bond.. Your Nation has been hijacked!! I’m sure we are all beginning to realize this.. The Republicans are not going to solve what ails us they are part of the problem.. We have a lot of work in store for us over the coming years.

      The only answer in the Middle East is to help them live in the 7th century. Use force as necessary.

      I’m having a hard time with this political crapola. Who do we need to impeach first? Dumbo Obama,RINO Boehner, or the entire RINO and Socialist Senate. Let’s start with Dingle Barry Dumbo and go from there. Why are not the liberal trolls calling for Obama’s head like they did GW? The problem is even if the House started impeachment as they should, the socialist Senate would never let it happen. We so need to clean house in our government.

      @GETLIFE Wow I thought everyone here was convince that the US is exceptional. So why would we focus on the Chinese in terms of their developmental stage. Trust me if we used the multiple $trillion we have wasted on unnecessary wars we could have developed solar panels that were 20 to 50 times more efficient. The problem in the US both in terms of our economy and political climate is the excessive influence of big corporations and big money. For example, why aren’t the US oil companies assisting in the development of alternate energy that would help their COUNTRY? That is other than greed in the form of profits, stock price and executive salaries.
