So, what is your point?

HOW THE WAR POWERS ACT WORKS

The War Powers Act of 1973, passed in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, puts limits on the ability of the President to send American troops into combat areas without Congressional approval. Under the act, the President can only send combat troops into battle or into areas where ''imminent'' hostilities are likely, for 60 days without either a declaration of war by Congress or a specific Congressional mandate. The President can extend the time the troops are in the combat area for 30 extra days, without Congressional approval, for a total of 90 days. The act, however, does not specify what Congress can do if the President refuses to comply with the act. Congress could presumably suspend all funds for such troops and override a Presidential veto.

Since Feb 15, 2011 we have been involved in this military action. So in my calculations Obama has been acting without the authority of law for 19 days now. This Un-Constitutional King has got to be voted out of office. At the beginning of this Country Some of the people wanted to make Washington King. Thankfully level heads prevailed.

This President is suffering, or should I say this Country is suffering from his elusions of

Grandeur. He is no God. He is not our King. He is supposed to be a servant of the

Constitution and of the people.

He has no elusions. 

The POTUS is not a servant to the people, but a representative of the people. 

I should have said delusions.

And he is a servant of the Constitution which he swore to uphold.

And he is to supposed to serve at the people’s will. Until 2012

that is.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

He broke his oath/

 preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

He has the Socialist view of a Living and Breathing Constitution. Where's the Preservation?

Ammendments change the Constitution not his methods of Change/Communism.

Skippy

No he didn't. You are a lying Socialist.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

jami,,,,,,,,,He broke the oath of office many times already.

A Socialist liar calling someone a lying Socialist, now thats funny!!!

Iv

The partisan hackery is strong on this forum.  No one cared about oaths or laws when a Repub was in the White House.  Its all a vast right wing conspiracy.

I'm just glad Jimbo is on your team.

Skippy

Whatever you say, Skipbo.

He wasn't trying to elude someone? 

The president is neither a servant of the people nor a representative of the people. He is the CEO of the government and commander in chief of the armed forces, subject to the rules of the constitution.

Well, you claim no party allegiance and allude to having no guiding philosophy that you will state openly. It seems, without further information, that the definition for you is nihilist. The most useless of all doctrines.

Ad hominem is the best you can muster?  I must say though, that when it comes to politics, I just might be a nihilist. I imagine you as a typical born again Repub, with a revival tent enthusiasm for anyone that promises to cut taxes and end welfare, and even though the Repub pols never fail to disappoint, you faithfully stand with them.  Again, and again and again and......

Yep, good ol' ad hominem... is it ad hominem if it is true? I suppose that it is, however if you narrow down where the stench is coming from, the stinker can be avoided or dealt with.

Republican? Nah, too much adherence to the old guard. I consider myself a constitutional conservative with a wide libertarian streak tempered by rational and practical considerations. Enough about me, state your philosophical positions that are beyond politics.
