"Friday is the final day of the statutory sixty-day period for you to terminate the use of the United States Armed Forces in Libya under the War Powers Resolution. Last week some in your Administration indicated use of the United States Armed Forces will continue indefinitely, while others said you would act in a manner consistent with the War Powers Resolution. Therefore, we are writing to ask whether you intend to comply with the requirements of the War Powers Resolution. We await your response," wrote the GOP senators Wednesday.
The letter was signed by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.
So does that mean Saturday it goes to Congress to continue or is this a Mon-Fri "working week" type of deal where it gets to sit until Mon and the MSM has a feeding frenzy over the weekend ?
In an effort to satisfy those arguing he needs to seek congressional authorization to continue US military activity in accordance with the War Powers Resolution, President Obama wrote a letter to congressional leaders this afternoon suggesting that the role is now so “limited” he does not need to seek congressional approval.
In direct contradiction to:
Quote:
From the beginning of the U.S. military intervention in Libya, the Obama administration has cited the 1973 War Powers Act as the legal basis of its ability to conduct military activities for 60 days without first seeking a declaration of war from Congress. The military intervention started on March 19; Congress was notified on March 21. Those 60 days expire today.
I guess none of the warmongers on the left care about the rule of law and starting new wars. Where are the anti-war protests?
THEY agree with Obama that as CIC he has a right to deploy American troops under NATO. Remember that he gave all control to NATO so that frees him up to hand them over to NATO. His advisors reason like that so he must, also.
Great, let the GOP majority house vote to end U.S. military involvement in Libya. The House votes to end involvement but they won't have the votes in the Senate.
If they do managed to get the votes in the Senate and we pull out of Libya anything that happens to the Libyan people will on the Republicans and any rogue Demcorats. They KNOW this and that's why Republicans in the House well b*tch and moan but they really won't make this a major issue.

In other words, our CIC can break and law and Congressional resolution he wants to break to protect Libyans but can also pull away from Israel for personal reasons. Is that what you are saying?

CIC is a "title" granted to the president by the CONGRESS during a war. He does not wear that hat 24/7. Without a declaration from Congress, Barry cannot send troops anywhere.
