(CNSNews.com) - Louis Fisher, a scholar in residence at the Constitution Project who served for 40 years as a constitutional law expert at the Library of Congress, says Americans and members of Congress should understand that President Barack Obama committed a “very grave offense” against the Constitution in taking military action in Libya without congressional authorization.
“I am not going to recommend that the House Judiciary Committee hold impeachment hearings, but I would like members of Congress and the public to say that nothing would be more impeachable than a President who takes the country to war without coming to Congress, who does it unilaterally,” Fisher told CNSNews.com’s Online With Terry Jeffrey.
“So, I would like people to be educated, including members of Congress, to be educated that that is a very grave offense,” said Fisher.
On March 19, President Barack Obama ordered the U.S. military to take actions against the Libyan regime of Muammar Gadhafi.
The day before that, Obama had given a speech stating that a resolution passed by the U.N. Security Council on the previous day that authorized the use of military force in Libya would justify U.S. action there.

He insulted the arabs and islam. It’s about revenge.
I have to agree with you both. We have too few elected people in Washington that really care about the rule of law. They talk big when campaigning but performance after being elected is sadly lacking, of course they were put their by the electorate.
Why is this under chat...it’s news and/or editorial...this is an important article...it’s about time some constitutional scholar steps forward and calls this offense exactly what it is...IMPEACHABLE...
I posted it in news but it was moved.
Gaddafy’s so incoherent, it would surprising if he hasn’t insulted absolutely everyone at some point. ;’) Thanks FN.
Impeach Obama then try him for treason.
If found guilty the impose the death penalty.
Ridiculous....
