  • I,m confused and if someone can assist me i would be most appreciative,has the usurper president not already violated the Constitution with his failing to go through Congress with his past actions in to previous conflicts that occurred 2011 2012 respectively? I don,t remember exactly which two at the moment.) So these new bills only cover future conflicts, I thought the Constitution was very specific about this already, or are we in the process of impeachment as we speak. If that is the case i will order my bumper stickers now that WND is making available.?

  • WOW! Now that should tell everyone all they need to know right there. Screw Congress we will go to the UN or NATO to get permission to deploy our Military WTF has America become? WHAT? WOW!

  • UPDATE & ACTION ALERT:
    After contacting my representatives office about supporting House Concurrent Resolution 107, I just got information from them that we actually now have House Concurrent Resolution 107, and a second piece of legislation pending in the form of an actual bill, H.R. 1609, The War Powers Reform Act of 2011 that are now BOTH in the Judicary Committee to be heard. HR 1609 was introduced by Representative Chris Gibson (N.Y.).
    It currently has 25 cosponsors, and it has been referred to the Rules Committee as well as the Judiciary Committee. The bill repeals a portion of the War Powers Resolution that requires the President to submit a report to Congress within 60 days of initiating military action. Instead, this bill prohibits funds from being used to support military action unless there is a declaration of war, a specific statutory authorization, or a national emergency caused by an attack or an imminent attack on the U.S.
    H.Con.Res.107 – states “That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.”
    To review these pieces of legislation and others I would encourage you to visit this website: http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php In the center column be sure to click the Bill Number Radio button and enter the Bill number (i.e. H.Con.Res. 107 or H.R. 1609).
    In the United States Congress, a concurrent resolution is a resolution passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate but is not presented to the President and does not have the force of law. In contrast, joint resolutions and bills are presented to the President and, once signed or approved over a veto, are enacted and have the force of law. Concurrent resolutions are generally used to address the sentiments of both chambers or deal with issues or matters affecting both houses...
    It is also my understanding that my Congressman, The Honorable Rep. Jeff Miller (R) of the 1st Congressional District of Florida, from the panhandle area, is a co-sponsor of HR 1609.
    PATRIOTS IT IS UP TO US "WE THE PEOPLE", TO CONTACT OUR SENATORS & CONGRESSMEN, OR CONGRESSWOMEN, AND TELL THEM AS OUR ELECTED REPRESENATTIVES TO SUPPORT BOTH OF THESE EFFORT TO DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION & THE RULE OF LAW WHICH THEY SWORE TO PROTECT, DEFEND & UPHOLD IN THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE!
    PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHERS SAY THEY CAN CONTACT THEIR R
  • We are being attacked from within and the words of Leon Panetta are proof positive of a "transformation of America", but not one we expected.  Barrack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soretoro is  not qualified to occupy the office he holds and refuses to prove otherwise.  Barry is required to be a Natural Born Citizen to hold his office and that means his parents must be American Citizens at the tme of his birth.  He openly acknowledges his father was born a Kenyan under UK rule at time he was born.  Joe Arapio's 6 month investigation claims his Birth certificate released by the White House is a badly created Forgery.......  When do we take action???

     

    Circulate this
    before it is pulled from the internet.
    If you just watch the first 30 seconds
    your mouth will drop open.
    Obama  admits  he  is  not  a  citizen
    THE AMAZING PART OF THIS TRAVESTY IS AMERICANS CONTINUE ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE RULED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN. Watch it before it's pulled!
  • Agreed Mr. Zelker... You are right, Libya, now Syria... This administration is being alowed to violate the US Constitution & the LAWS of the land in the War Powers Act, the same they SWORE to uphold protect and OBEY in their oaths of office, setting further DANGEROUS INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENCE for further errosion & the usurping of our US Constitutional LEGAL AUTHORITY over our very own US military by the UN & NATO...

    THIS MUST NOT & CAN NOT STAND ! ! !

    Resolution Calls for Impeachment if Obama Does Not Seek War Authori...

    Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com March 8, 2012

    Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican, has introduced H. Concurrent Resolution 107, which calls on the House, the Senate Concurring, to prevent Obama from starting another war without authorization from Congress. The resolution was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary on March 7.

    Obama’s unconstitutional decision to involve the U.S. in the illegal attack on Libya without the consent of Congress motivated at least some members of the House of Representatives to demand an explanation. On June 3 of last year, the House passed a resolution demanding that the president provide an explanation to the American people, a request that was ignored by Obama and his administration.

    Rep. Jones’ resolution states that any use of military force by Obama without explicit consent and authorization of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

    CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

    Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

    Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.” end quote.

    PLEASE DEMAND YOUR CONGRESSMAN & SENATORS SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION & CONGRESSMAN JONES ! The rule of law, our Constitution, and our nations survival depends on it...

  • I have sent my letter of disapproval to my Representatives demanding the immediate resignation or firing of Secty of Defense Leon Panetta.  I have also requested immediate impeachment proceedings begin for BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, aka Barry Soretoro under charges of High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

    The former CIA operative, Panetta, has no business and is obviously not qualified to serve in the position he is appointed to.   Barry Soretoro, aka Barack Obama after demanding proof of his status on numerous occasions refuses to provide the REQUIRED PROOF of his eligibility to serve in the position he holds.  If his qualifications cannot be proven, he must be considered unqualified and ineligible to serve.

    I have sent my demands.  Please ask your friends and neighbors to do the same.  As lone individuals we can be ignored...  as a united front we cannot be defeated.  This I ask not for me...  but for our posterity.   Please act now while we still can.

     

     

  • Sam,

    Amen to what you said. We have now reached a point where the only effective way of getting Congress to do their damn jobs is to embarrass them into it. The problem is though.... most of them are shameless.

  • I can not understand a sleeping Congress ..

    If they keep giving up their authority under the Constitution .They will be rendered powerless & useless by the Dictatorships they seem to support...
