Constitutional Scholars: Sustained Airstrikes in Iraq May Be Unconstitutional Here's a hint to those would-be eggheads:
ANYTHING a foreign born usurper does is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Precedent trumps the supreme law. Just ask Scotus.

Thanks for posting this.
I mentioned this a few days ago.
Yes, the situation in Iraq is serious.
But the United States military does NOT belong to Obama.
He did this in Libya, and now in Iraq. He is not being challenged.

He did this in Libya, and now in Iraq. He is not being challenged. And he won't be. He has purged the upper echelons of anyone that would challenge him. Next test: Kill Americans.

"He did this in Libya, and now in Iraq. He is not being challenged." And it is doubtful that he ever will. Pigmentation immunity goes a long way in PC America.

To: Kaslin
He already violated the War Powers act before this, and nothing happened. So, why should he care when he knows there are no consequences?

"Constitutional? You have got to be kidding me." Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that or words to that effect during questioning about the Constitutionality of OBAMACare before it was passed. That sums up the Democrat Party and Obama's disdain for our Constitution.

He has two authorizations to use military force that are still in effect, the one passed after 9/11 and the one authorizing the Iraq invasion.
The real problem here is the languorous pursuit of inconclusive conflicts that are never resolved by outright victory.

To: Kaslin
These professors always rediscover the Constitution when the nation is at war, then forgets it at home at every chance. I think the Congress should declare war against ISIS and Islamic extremism. The Islamists know we’re at war, what good does pretending we’re not do?

All I can say in this case is that Obama did the right thing. And, Congress should approve!

To: Kaslin
Has anyone asked the ISIS constitutional law scholars what THEY think? Shouldn’t we be worried that ISIS might sue us for war crimes in the Hague? Have we heard from their lawyers?
To: Iron Munro
Without the consent of the Senate it would be unconstitutional.
To: Kaslin
This is impossible because 0bama is a Constitutional Scholar and Lecturer.

To: kidd
The main problem is the GOP wants the same power. Political parties worship at the feet of a mythical unitary executive.
That is part of why there is no real call for Impeachment.
