Obama to Congress: I Don’t Need Your Approval

Earlier today, The Blaze reported on the bi-partisan lawsuit that congressional members filed this week against the White House. Now, President Barack Obama’s administration is speaking out, claiming that the War Powers Act does not apply to U.S. action in Libya. The New York Times has more:
In a broader package of materials the Obama administration is sending to Congress on Wednesday defending its Libya policy, the White House, for the first time, offers lawmakers and the public an argument for why Mr. Obama has not been violating the�War Powers Resolution since May 20.
On that day, the Vietnam-era law�s 60-day deadline for terminating unauthorized hostilities appeared to pass. But the White House argued that the activities of United States military forces in Libya do not amount to full-blown �hostilities� at the level necessary to involve the section of the War Powers Resolution that imposes the deadline.
�We are acting lawfully,� said Harold Koh, the State Department legal adviser, who expanded on the administration�s reasoning in a joint interview with White House Counsel Robert Bauer.
The administration claims that the U.S. has not been involved in “hostilities” since NATO took the helm on April 7. According to the White House, America is merely providing a “supporting role.” Since troops are not in harm’s way on the ground, they say there is “little risk” posed to U.S. forces. The Times continues:
The administration legal team considered other approaches, including a proposal to stop the use of armed drones after May 20 in order to bolster the case that United States forces were no longer engaged in hostilities. But the White House ultimately decided not to make any changes in the military mission.
The key issue here is the meaning of “hostilities,” as there does not seem to be a clear definition on the books. Furthermore, the administration discusses NATO as though the U.S. is not an integral part of the military alliance. In reality, the country’s relationship in the allegiance means that America is, to a degree, still heading operations in Libya.
Obama‘s opinion on this matter will likely be debated by congressional members on both sides of the aisle and judging from today’s lawsuit, there’s a good chance the battle may make its way into the court system.

Anyone doubting this statement needs to go to this website http://www.AmericanPolicy.org right now and read every AGENDA 21 Article from beginning to end. You will find out what Obama and the UN has in store for America and its Citizens. What you will read is shocking and frightening. We can kiss ALL FREEDOMS goodbye for good. They plan to take over houses/land and hustle the majority off to one and two bedroom apartments or communes to live, WITHOUT air conditioning because it is unstainable for Private citizens to own anything, especially houses and land. It is not sustainable for citizens to have access to air conditioning, because they say there is not enough energy for everyone. This is a lie, straight from hell. What these elitist pigs want is to make a third world country out of America. And they are well on the way to getting it done.
Report Post »They use the words “social injustice” and the environment to get their plans implemented. What they are doing is nothing but stealing, stealing from the American people who have worked and sacrificed to get what they have IN ORDER to line their pockets. They are elitist greedy filthy pigs. Obama is making plans right now, to let all the illegals in America vote. He is courting them to get their vote. This includes the citizens of Porta Rica, and he is visiting them today. Porta Rica has 50 million citizens. Mark these words, he will fix it so they can all vote for him in 2012.

They are a afraid to piss off the blacks because they know that they will probably be a race war because most blacks (not all) are only intellegent enough to vote for someone of their on race and are not smart enough to vote on their views.

Being a true American is not a matter of convenience where you “do it when you it feels good.” If you love this Country, stand behind our Country, our military and our President at the very least when it comes to tackling the problems in the middle east. I am embarrassed to think of how cowardly we now look to those who did not offer the same support ten years ago. Shameful.

The Left have obviously been trying to provoke some drastic action by the conervatives with their confrontational tactics so they could demand a gun grab, or go full blown martial law. We have responded with enough restraint that they are starting to switch tactics. First off was project fast and furious, designed to get American Border Agents killed with weapons originating in America. Thank God the rank and file of the ATF has not gone along with the plan. The new plot involves using flash mobs of thugs to cause disruptions in family friendly venues. Over Memorial day weekend, there were several attacks in several cities were events had to be closed down. A beach in Chicago, (the powers that be said it was because people were fainting from the heat, apparently it was the only beach to get hot), an amusement park in Alabama was shut down for “wilding”, and a concert in California. Those are only a few that occurred. Using their cellphones these thugs can flash mob, then disappear quicker than the police can respond. I will bet money that these attacks will escalate, and then tthe MSM will try to gin up support for a gun grab. If need be they could continue till Obammy is forced to declare Martial Law, and we all know he would hate to do that. You have mere months to prepare, use your time wisely.

CIA Director Leon Panetta, President Obama’s nominee to serve as secretary of defense, has come under newfound scrutiny for his ties to a pro-Marxist think tank accused of anti-CIA activity.
The Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, has long faced criticism for positions some say attempt to undermine U.S. national security and for its cozy relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
A review of the voting record for Panetta, a member of Congress from 1977 to 1993, during the period in question shows an apparent affinity for IPS’s agenda.
Read what we’ll need to accomplish to restore America to greatness.
The IPS is currently funded by philanthropist George Soros’ Open Society Institute.
Panetta was reportedly on IPS’s official 20th Anniversary Committee, celebrated April 5, 1983, at a time when the group was closely aligned with the Soviet Union.
In his authoritative book “Covert Cadre: Inside the Institute for Policy Studies,” S. Steven Powell writes: “April 5, 1983, IPS threw a large twentieth-anniversary celebration to raise funds.

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 2:26pmZOMBIE JESUS LOVES ME, no one said we shouldn‘t deal with Libya if they’re a threat. The argument is he should have done it correctly and authorized it through Congress. Do you really want a president who can start a war solely on his own discretion without the checks and balances of Congress? So much for your ideas on critical thinking.

Correct we are a member of NATO and NATO decided to go in based on the UN resolution. So the issue is what? Look I don’t believe there is any more rational for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan than Libya. Time to stop wasting money on the military and invest in the US.

We have a contractual agreement with NATO members but regardless, it has to be approved by the states representitives which Afghan and Iraq were. Pakistan nor Yemen were but the difference being that we aren’t attacking a soveriegn government.

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 4:01pmThis sounds like another version of “it depends on what the definition of ”the“ is” — typical lawyer BS. Saying that we are under the authority of NATO or the UN and that trumps Constitutional requirements regarding war is more BS and typical of this “professor of Constitutional law”. The only time he ever LOOKS at the Constitution is when he is trying to figure out yet another end run around some provision in it. Instead of suing him, they should be voting to IMPEACH his sorry, Constitution-trashing a$$ for violating his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution”.

Nobody is “turning” on our military. But do you think this Unconstitutional a$$ hole in the presidency really gives a sheet about our military people? If he could figure out a way to hand them all over to the ******* to slaughter, he would. The man is a TRAITOR and a DISGRACE to our country, and our do-nothing Congress has sat and ALLOWED him to make them irrelevent to where he can stand up and say “I don’t need their approval”. Well, um, according to the Constitution, he DOES need their approval, and it is about time they put a stop to his end runs around the Constitution’s provisions for the separation of powers between the branches of govt. The Constitution contains those provisions precisely to make sure some a$$ hole like THIS one does not seize power and become a dictator, which he is striving mightily to do right now. See, he is under the impression we elected him KING, or maybe emperor . . .

Turning IN to a tyrant? He was a tyrant waiting to happen from the day he declared he was running for president — never could understand why ANYBODY would vote for him, given his voting record in Congress, TOTAL lack of experience, RADICAL leanings, etc. etc.

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 6:10pmIf I lived in Libya and a US Drone or other military explosive delivering device blew up my house and killed all the members of my family. I would probably consider that to be a “hostile Act” perpetrated by the USA. Who is the USA fighting against ? What is our objective ?
If a Libyan bomber dropped a bomb on my place of business in Texas and put me out of business,I think that would also be a “hostile act”. Any military action against another country is a “hostile act” and if you “wage war” against another country, for whatever the reason, isn’t that an act of war?

Posted on June 16, 2011 at 6:30pmThree cheers for Kucinic who has the “balls” to stand up for what’s right and challenge those who are violating the US Constitution by committing military aggression against another country. The Whitehouse is a loose canon that must be stopped from it’s indiscriminate actions that are in violation of the US Constitution and the War powers Act.Who will Obama decide he wants to bomb next ? The Founding Fathers took precautions in the US Constitution to not give war making powers to any individual. So, where does Obama get his power to unilaterally make war on whoever HE decides it’s in our (USA) National Interest ? Wouldn‘t bombing and neutralizing Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear bomb capabilities be in our (the USA) National Interest ?

I would expect a blind/ignorant/willfully stoopid troll like you, who blindly follows a president with NO regard for our Constitution to be OK with an unconstitutional siezure of power on the part of said President. According to the Constitution, he damned well DOES need Congressional approval to commit US military resources to fighting in another country. But you and that so-called “professor of Constitutional law” in the White House would not know that–or even care about it–would you?

I’m with the other guy, who asked, just what is their objective here? I recall when ODumber was first elected, he invited Gadhaffi to come and pitch his sultan‘s tent in New York’s Central Park as an ‘honored guest’. He had to retract that invitation when the people of New York raised hell about it. But why all of a sudden does he feel the need for military itervention in Libya? Is he trying to protect their filthy Jihad government? Install the filthy Muslim brotherhood in their place? Whatever his agenda, you can bet it is NOT about peace OR freedom, because he does not stand for either of those things!

Report Post »I believe FDR discussed a “day that will live in infamy” when some non-infantry soldiers bombed the land of President Obama’s birth.
Was FDR too stupid to recognize a “kinetic military action”???
If the dictator of Libya had the military resources to declare war on nations who are dropping bombs all over his nation (that he should not control – but his people let him do so until lately – due to intimidation and bribery), is he too stupid to recognize acts of war that explode in his back yard, front yard, the bed rooms of his family, etc.???
The Obama dictionary as exercised by the Obama Justice Department puts Bill Clinton’s “definition of ”is“ is” into the scrap heap of amateur hour (this is not war, Timothy Geitner is THE ONLY ONE who can lead the Treasury Department the way Obama wants it led, the fence is practically complete).
If America is not engaging in war like activity that must be approved in a leisurely 60 days by Congress, then Obama and the Eric Holder shock troops fighting for the Obama dictionary have been guilty of cold bloodedly ordering murder for hire since DAY 61.
How much do the Obama team have to dislike a politician or his followers before they go all kinetic, anyway???

Right–we have a black president, and since nobody is allowed to say ANY black person is EVER wrong about ANYTHING whatsoever, according to you liberal idiots, then no matter HOW many times he violates the Constitution, then it’s OK, because he’s black? That is really the stupidest reasoning I have ever heard–if you can call that kind of idiocy “reasoning”.
That is really what you are saying–that he CANNOT ever be criticized, no matter what he does, becuase he is black? Really? I thought (a) that he was just the President, not entirely and only a “black president”. I also thought (b) we had the freedom to criticize our elected officials if we don’t like what they are doing no matter WHAT color they are. But then I guess since fools like you have no regard for the Constitution, you would ignore that part, too, in the name of being “politically correct” and protecting the poor little black person from us big, bad white folks who might hurt his widdle feelings by saying he is the LOUSIEST excuse for a president in this country’s history–and that hs NOTHING to do with his color and everything to do with his being an incompetent Communist a$$ hole who is doing his level best to destroy our country and make it into something it was never intended to be, and that the majority of its citizens do not want. How is that OK, just because he is an “African American president

Posted on June 17, 2011 at 6:50amActing lawfully, they haven’t acted lawfully since the day the moron was inaugurated. I don‘t understand why he is still in office he has done so many things that we know of that were absolutely unconstitutional and that doesn’t include the things that we don’t know about yet. The fast and furious debacle is going to be a big black eye on this administration. How exactly are they going to be able to explain why they allowed weapons into Mexico? This was so that they could enact tougher gun laws in the USA by making their false claims that all the weapons that the cartels were using were coming from unscrupulous arms dealers in the United States. Simply amazing what this moron and his cronies will try to get away with and there are still millions of people in this country making excuses for the worst excuse for a president in modern history bar none.
