"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actualor imminent threat to the nation..." Senator Barack H. Obama, December 20, 2007.
We, the People of the United States of America, are rising up to "Defend the Constitution of The United States of America" against those who refuse to do so, even when they took an Oath of Office solemnly swearing that they would! Please read my absolutely crucial message below - Mat.
Just days ago, President Obama ordered U.S. military action in Libya, based in part on the authority of the United Nations Security Council and the recommendations of senior advisors including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the National Security Council's Samantha Power, and Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, all of whom were pressing for military action based on humanitarian concerns.
The President chose not to consult Congress, instead sending a letter to Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) telling them of the strikes on Libya under his constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief - well AFTER the initial attacks.
Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle agree the President should have consulted Congress BEFORE any action was taken.
Consider Vice President Joe Biden's words referring to proposed actions of then-President George W. Bush:
"The president has no constitutional authority to take this country to war... unless we are attacked or he has proof that we are about to be attacked... If he does, I would move to impeach him..."
And yesterday, in one of several long and intense interviews concerning his outrage over President Obama's unilateral decision to authorize military action in Libya, Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) called the President's action "impeachable."
++Barack Obama's pattern of disregard for the rule of law.
Conservative and leftist leaders alike are questioning this latest power grab on the part of an imperialist president. Barack Obama's subversion of our Constitution must be stopped!
We, the American People, must call for the proper use of constitutional authority, accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law - in short, we must
defend the Constitution of the United States!
Liberty Counsel is continuing to demand that elected officials live up to their Oaths of Office - or be FIRED, RECALLED, or IMPEACHED.
Our powerful "Defend the Constitution" Declaration issues this directive (among others) to President Obama and all those who hold public office at the sovereign will of the voters...
"We the People of the United States of America demand that our President, our elected representatives, governmental appointees, judges and justices, and any other government official adhere to the authority and rule of law as defined by the Constitution of the United States of America and its Bill of Rights."
This just goes to show how much Obama likes to dump all over the Constitutional. Of course, those who are in love with Obama (both in D.C. and elsewhere) are going to let this go as they have with other things he's done like his Unconstitutional Obamacare.
