Impeachment of Obama Introduced

Finally!
It finally happened! Someone in Congress has the guts enough to challenge "King" Obama with his ABUSE of Presidential Power.

Congressman Walter B. Jones Jr. (R,NC) has the courage to stand up against Obama's abuse of power. He has introduced legislation that would begin impeachment if Obama decides alone to start yet another war - this time in Syria! Representative Jones declares that the president is duly warned that if he uses military power without Congressional approval, he will be tried more high crimes and misdemeanors!

The legislation introduced states that if the President uses military force without the authorization of Congress that this act would be "an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor."

It's About Time!
Article I, Section 8, clause 11, of the Constitution specifies that Congress alone has the power to declare war. (Recall that Obama skipped-by Congress when he ALONE decided to bomb Libya).

The House Concurrent Resolution 107 was introduced shortly after Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta testified before Congress that both he and the President were NOT going to look for the Congress to authorize the bombing of Syria, but they were going to look to NATO and the United Nations for permission instead!! Panetta said "Our goal would be to seek international permission and we would … come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress – I think those are issues we would have to discuss as we decide what to do here."

THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!

Had Enough Yet?
Isn't it time to support Impeachment action? Isn't it time to let "King" Obama know that he has abused the office of the Presidency once too often?

Taking ANY military action on foreign soil without Congressional authorization VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION! It's time we defend the law of the land and stand up to protect it! Obama has already violated his Oath of Office by attacking Libya!

Neither NATO or the United Nations has ANY legal basis for "intervening" in American sovereignty!

Congressional Resolution 107 Wording
Here is the wording of the new Congressional resolution:
"Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a president without prior and clear authorization of an act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.

Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a president without prior and clear authorization of an act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under Article I, Section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
"

Action To Take
Contact Your state Representative and your two Senators and tell them that you want them to support this bill in Congress!
