I listened to Ann Coulter on the Sean Hannity show and unfortunately Obama does have the Constitutional authority to strike

So Coulter believes in absolute monarchy — one man rule?

Sorry, I stick with the Constitution, which gives Congress the authority to declare war. (And don’t tell me that bombing another country that hasn’t attacked us, and isn’t on the verge of , attacking us, is not an act of war)

Ann Coulter is a Constitutional lawyer and a brilliant woman. I’ll stick with her on this. I don’t want a strike for those al Qaida rebels any more than you do; however, I recognize America elected an idiot (among other things) for President and we have to live with the consequences.

As CIC., he can order the military to strike Syria. But he cannot declare war without an act of congress.

I’m sure the Founding Fathers would have tightened up the language a bit, had they ever envisioned the possibility of someone like Obama ever becoming president. Cant’ really blame them though; as recently as 2008, I was convinced that the electorate would reject an overtly anti-American Marxist.

I was wrong. Twice.

He could be impeached on a number of counts.
However the senate which is the jury in this case would never convict him.

At this point the it may be to the republicans advantage to let Barry continue to soil himself at every occasion.
The real problem is not Obama. It's the misinformed, shallow, people that elected him.
If the majority continue to elect candidates like Obama, anything else that happens will be meaningless.

Obama does not have the authority to help Qaeda rebels. Impeach? How about Treason.
