Obama Could Be Facing Impeachment

There are rising concerns on Capitol Hill that President Obama is considering sending US troops into Syria.  The military has already taken steps to increase its presence in the area and has been supplying Patriot missiles to Turkey.
At a recent press conference, Rep Walter Jones (R-NC) explained his resolution before the House (H.Con. Res. 107), saying:
“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.”
The US Constitution states that only Congress has the power to maintain an army, navy and to declare war.  None of these fall under the constitutional duties of the president.  Article I, Section 8 of says:
“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;…”

“To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;”

“To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;”

“To provide and maintain a Navy;”
In a surprise move, one noted Democratic congressman has sided with Jones.  Charles Rangel (D-NY) explained that the proper constitutional procedure for sending troops to war is for the president to go to Congress with the request first.  Having Congressional approval is viewed as meeting the will of the people, although that can be questioned in today’s politics.
Others that have expressed support of Jones’ actions are Michael Michaud (D-ME); Ron Paul (R-TX), Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Justin Amash (R-MI).
Jones and his supporters sent a letter to President Obama which read in part:
“Outside of an actual or imminent attack on America, the only precursor to war can be the authorization of Congress. We call on you to abide by our Constitution, and rely on our country’s representatives to decide when war is necessary.”
When asked what he would do if Obama does carry out his intentions of sending troops to Syria without congressional approval, Jones said he would have no choice but to bring impeachment charges against the president.

Actually Congress might vote a bill of impeachment , but Harry Reid would never bring it before the Senate . That is the measure of how little those in power think of their country . its party before Nation

That's another reason why the Republicans in the House should call for DEPORTATION, not impeachment. The dog-eatin' Kenyan as a non-U.S. citizen isn't entitled to impeachment proceedings.

Why would we want our taxes spent to keep his ass in jail? I say we just hang his ass for treason, and save the tax payers a lot of money. Then we could use that same rope on those who didn't do their job in the first place by vetting him in 2008. I'll bring the beer if some one else brings the rope!

excuse me, "Did you intend to make a logical statement?"
As if you did?

"...brain dead psychotic right wingers..."

THEN, you counter your own words by saying, "Not so much."

Seems to me, you inadvertantly admitted your own argument was misinformed and politically sided towrad the absurd.

If you ever wish to make a logical statement, please preface it with, "I am a blinded sheep following my lock-step leftist agenda, and this is the truth as I am told it is...and I believe it because I was told to, and I am obligated to pass on..."

Quite frankly, there are a lot of logical statements made on this and similar forums, because here and there you see and read the words of people who think for themselves--the bane of the leftist, because they only parrot the most receant talking point, whether or not it has any validity or not.

And THAT is the greatest difference between the libs and Conservative.

WE hold our people accountable for their words and their actions. Libs circle their wagons around any other lib despite the illogic, insincerity or even illegality of their statements.

And, what the Hell, is it with this "boo-hoo-hoo, we won, but we are still not satisfied and want more credit, respect and submissiveness..." exemplified by the Dems?

Foer instance: Harry Reid is so arrogant, and so judgemental for a man who has not done a lick of substansive work in the last four+ years. Has not passes a budget four how many years? Says that he will not table something that a Republican has offered without ever reading it? Tells out and out lies about political opponents to build up his own candidate's weak position and record.

Nancy Pelosi, in my stae of California, should have her own branch in the Guiness (sp?) Books for the most routine gaffes and utter acts of verbal stupidity by a repeatedly elected official to such an important position in goverment that, at the second or third spew should have railroaded her to obscurity...

But I digress.

Adam, believe what you want, as an American, that is your privelage. But do not expect us on the right to take ANYthing you say to heart, because we know that most of what you say is so much garbage, that is ultimately meant to help this once great Country to become just another third world dependant on a disfunction political body that is more interested in their own greater glory than the reputation and betterment of the citizens of the Country that supports them.

Oh, and if worse comes to worse, and there is no way to stop the ultimate goal of the libs mind-set, hope you will enjoy the dystopian, third world disgrace that this Country will become if all that the Libs strive for come to pass.

That's the biggest BULLSH1T I've seen on the net in a while man... snort, lol! ... Not sure what universe you are from but here on earth: BULLCRAP!

Welcome to being reported to the secret service. Do a google search on how many people have made comments exactly like this only to be raided by the secret service the following week... You people truly are STUPID. I wonder what your friends and family will think of your loud mouth when they get questioned by federal agents?

Yes...because the things you find offense in are ALL MANUFACTORED! .. You generate selective petty outrage on things ... Like CZARS (Bush had more of them then Obama but conservatives conveniently only found out about them under Obama --- Which only shows you to be PETTY, ignorant and uninformed ...

Yes, I'm the kind of person who watches a disgusting and PETTY group of selfish hateful people get their panties up in a bunch over nothing -- I actually find that sort of AMUSING. You people are like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It's painful to watch but you can't turn your head away!

You are right! And the reason liberals don't have it in them is because they let the feminists castrate them and make them into a bunch of girly wusses.

Since some of them still have some testosterone left over from their late teens and early twenties it may cause them to just go berserk. So be careful.

Adam.

I'm still ticked off about all the bailouts. I don't want to own GM, nor a POS electric car.

What the hell happened to "the most "TRANSPARENT" administration? While they shoved Obama care down our throats? Hmn?

The Petty person, is you. The uniformed is also you. How do you feel about the crap in Benghazi? If you were a real serviceman you should be angry beyond belief. At the lack of leadership that we have now.

Let the guy rant but never wish death on anyone. From what I have seen, he will lose the argument AND the war if he holds on to the bitterness that is consuming him. Personally, I will say a prayer for the guy.

Sorry, Sengal, remember it's Christmas, and Jesus came to live and die for those who are lost. Instead of being glad of cancer getting him, we need to pray for his coming to know the One who will show him there is a worse place than present day America, and he can avoid it for the asking. Remember, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." This came from the Only One with the right and power to send someone to he77, and came while they were torturing Him to death.

Yes, I have a terminal condition. Good riddance cruel world ... It's not been a pleasure -- The world is insane, gun crazy, selfish, immoral and the people who claim to have morals in America (conservatives) are some of the most evil and immoral (dishonest) people... I'm not leaving anything grand behind besides my daughter.

You are evil though and I was actually looking foward to you coming out here. You being the bad arse blow hard that you are, I was hoping you might look forward to a confrontation. I've only got a couple years at most to live and I would give anything to take a little evil out of the world before I depart. You are pure trash and I would be honored to relieve the rest of society of your ugliness. So please, I am worth it -- You can even take first shot. It'll be your last shot though...the last shot you ever fire at ANYONE.

Your remark about your physical condition explains many things. I would never presume to give advice but there is a Dr Samadi in NY that is one of the best cancer specialists in the world for certain types of illnesses. If it is the disese that is attacking you he is the BEST! You will have to believe me on this one. Next, try going to a local house of worship. You may find peace and you do owe that much to your daughter if no other person. I wish you well.
