U..S. President Barack Obama faces possible impeachment for not obtaining Congress’ approval prior to launching military attacks on Libya.
Members of the GOP and others are calling for Obama’s impeachment on the grounds that he abused his power as Commander-in-Chief by violating the Constitution. Obama’s critics are even using Obama’s own words against him.
This is what Obama said on December 20, 2007 when he was a senator running for president:
“The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
Obama was referring to the section in the Constitution that clearly states only Congress shall have power to… declare War on another country.
I never imagined that Obama’s term as president would end like this.
