The Constitution’s War Powers Clause was recently and quietly being revised by Congress, and may give President Barack Obama broad authority to wage war across the globe without congressional consent.
The bill was proposed by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and was quickly denounced by Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, who claimed that President’s newfound authority doesn’t stop at the American border. It would allow him to deploy war troops inside the United States, as well.
The bill is an apparent throwback to the era of manifest destiny in the U.S. Undeterred by recent failures in Afghanistan and Iraq, our president and Congress are once again becoming obsessed with policing the entire world by means of the military. This time, however, even American towns are under threat of military takeover.
See how the bill authorizes our president to enact martial law in the United States on the next page:
we are not leagley bound by the constitution to fallow an unconstitutional law or decree. and if congress passe such they are guilty of failure to comply with their oaths of offece
We had enough of Obama!!!
What is the matter with this Congress? They sounds NUTS, one after the other…
Congress is just as much to blame.
Lou Rene Hatfield Regardles! Those who vote “Aye” go first. Then, the ancients/icons who’ve been there more than 10 years
There are enough gun laws on the books. Democratic liberals at law-enforcement need to uphold the laws that are all ready there. Donald J Trump for president. Obama and Hillary should go to jail for treason.
What is congress going to do about it?
So where was Congress during this edict? He can’t do whatever he wants. That is why we have CONGRESS in Washington. He is not king only a court jester.
Lou you will be standing alone and cold my friend…
Going to. As far as I am concerned this Communist Dictator all ready has.
