The administration insisted Thursday that President Obama has both the authority and the determination to make his own decision on a military strike against Syria, even as a growing chorus of lawmakers demanded an opportunity to vote on the issue and Britain, the United States’ closest ally, appeared unlikely to participate.
Biden said in 2007 that any president who did what Obama is planning on doing should be impeached.
“I made it clear to the President,” a furious Biden declared, “that if he takes this nation to war without Congressional approval, I will make it my business to impeach him. That is a fact.”
Obama said in 2007 that his planned actions are illegal.
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.
– Barack Obama – December 20, 2007
He announced today that his plans to go to war with Syria have nothing to do with an imminent threat to the US.
Slam dunk. Obama and Biden have laid out an unimpeachable case for their own impeachment.
