The new guy just ran into the 60 day rule in the "War Powers Act". If the Congress and the Senate do not approve the committal of US troops within 60 days from the date the President actually commits them, the troops must be removed from that area in 30 days. American service men, on the order of this president, March 21, 2011 attacked military and civilian installations on the sovereign territory of Lybia, without a declaration of war. Yesterday was the 60th day. Neither the Congress or the Senate has approved either the act of war he orchestrated or the continuation of the conflict. The law is specific. The president feels he is above that law and will challenge both the Congress and the Senate.
Holy Cats Batman! This guy is more fascist that Cheney.
Well folks, this looks like a good time as any to curb the Presidency, to bring this country back to sanity. No one man should have the power to declare the United States at war. Where was the compelling national interest on this one? Where was the threat? Be very glad he didn't decide to be the first to use the "Football". What would stop him? Your Congressman? Your Senator?
Like I said, how do you like the "Change"?
