Is impeachment in the future for Obama?

U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 8 states that “Congress shall have the power…to declare war.”

Obama has taken sides in Libya’s civil war, which in turn the United States has taken sides as well.

Now many are asking if Obama declaration to help Libyan rebels overturn their government unconstitutional?

Does the President have the power to authorize a military attack?

In 2007, our Vice President now, Joe Biden went on record:

According to Obama and Biden, the president does not have the power to declare war; however, it is Congress’ job to declare war and only their right to do so.

To my surprise Republicans and Democrats are uniting together to say what Obama declared is unconstitutional.

“Somebody has to be here to try to get our troops back and stop these wars,” Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said.

War Powers Resolution states the president can only send the armed forces into military action abroad if

                -Congress has authorized it

                                Or

                -U.S. is under attack or a serious threat of an attack to the U.S.

Libya was not attacking us nor were they threatening a serious attack to the United States. Congress did not declare war on Libya or any action for our military to take action to on Libya soil.

Obama’s administration has stated what is happening in Libya is not a “war” it is however “a limited humanitarian intervention”.

One campaign promise Obama made back in 2007 was to bring our troops back from overseas. He has yet to bring them back; in fact he is sending more troops over there.

Obama stated this “intervention” will only take 90 days, but how can Obama make that deadline when he doesn’t know what will happen?

I believe Libya will become a major issue in the coming up election; this issue has made many Americans asking themselves has Obama abused his power?
