TheHeretic -> Article 1 section 8 (9/27/2014 10:39:39 PM)
Does the Constitution not apply to Barack Obama, or did I miss an amendment somewhere along the line that gives the President the power to declare war? Will the same answers be in play when a Republican is elected to the White House, and has to wage the war President Obama decided to start, and has said will be going on for years? Discuss.

FR The last time Congress declared war was on June 4, 1942--against Romania. https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/h_multi_sections_and_teasers/WarDeclarationsbyCongress.htm

Well if congress wants their say on this business with ISIS, they can quit their childish games, man up, and do the dirty. Otherwise they have no call to complain if President Obama deals with a threat to national security by executive order, since the rest of the government is effectively defunct.

FR Congress chose to recess rather than debate and vote to authorize this action that says to me they know who has the authority and it ain't them.

Classic, the President is not going to war -- you don't like it. He is going to war -- you still don't like it. The other comical thing here, you want Congress to lead.

Has Congress authorized him to use the military against ISIS? He can start use of the military, but needs to have Congressional approval to continue it past 90 days. Well, that's according to the War Powers Act. But, I don't think he has the authority to send the military in according to the War Powers Act because the requirements haven't been met.

Dick the dumb things you say. That's an excellent short read, DC. Thanks for adding it to the thread. Did you read this part? According to a 1995 article in the American Journal of International Law, "Presidents and their advisers point to more than two hundred incidents in which Presidents have used force abroad without first obtaining congressional approval." So it would appear that once again you have both feet in your mouth and your head up your ass.
