Worst President Ever

Yikes;

The White House would forge ahead with military action in Libya even if Congress passed a resolution constraining the mission, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a classified briefing to House members Wednesday afternoon.

Clinton was responding to a question from Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) about the administration's response to any effort by Congress to exercise its war powers, according to a senior Republican lawmaker who attended the briefing.

The answer surprised many in the room because Clinton plainly admitted the administration would ignore any and all attempts by Congress to shackle President Obama's power as commander in chief to make military and wartime decisions. In doing so, he would follow a long line of Presidents who have ignored the act since its passage, deeming it an unconstitutional encroachment on executive power.

That's pure Doug Gibbs... claiming the President can ignore an act of Congress simply because he thinks it's unconstitutional.

Can you ignore an act of Congress? Say... refusing to pay taxes because you consider it unconstitutional? Ask Wesley Snipes about that one.

There's really only two options. Either Congress impeaches Obama for violating the War Powers act - or we all just agree that one person, the President of the United States, can launch a war against anyone at any time, simply on their authority. Obama could nuke London tomorrow and make up any sort of story that he wanted, and nothing could be done about it.

The Constitution is pretty clear about Congress declaring war. It clearly does not have any articles which grant the President the authority to ignore the law.

Nixon once said, "If the President does it, it's not against the law", and the nation was stunned. Now - nobody cares that, in fact, he was right.

.....

By the way... know how the Korean war was rationalized? How it completely skipped Congress? A UN resolution.

The argument that when the UN passes a resolution, the US is obliged to go blow some shit up is stupid.

If it's an awesome thing, to send gun ships to annihilate human beings with bullets and bomb the fuck out of anything resembling a pro-government military, then how the fuck hard could it be to get the fucking Congress of the United States to sign off on it?

I know I'm not the only one that thinks it's a bad idea to let one individual send the military on a rampage. All you have to consider is President Sarah Palin.

k?
