The New York Times: Reports that the US House of Representatives will limit the military role of the US in the Libyan War, the article states the following on the rebuke to Obama, “.. extraordinary and potentially bipartisan rebuke of a sitting president engaged in an active conflict abroad. ”. This is down to the basic fact that President Obama has broken the War Powers Resolution Act that was passed in 1973 after Watergate to curtail military action by a President of the United States. After sixty days of military action that has not been given the green light by Congress at the start a President has to seek approval or remove the military presence. The Oval seems to think that since the UN has given approval that it does not seek the approval of the US Congress, this has miffed to say the least both the House and the Senate. The legal opinions from within the Obama Administration is also against the President, its only President Obama who thinks its legal. That ego again from Obama. But the main problem for President Obama is that the War in not popular, you either win a war or you don’t fight a war, that’s the problem with allowing Harvard lawyer to become President, he still thinks he is doing a Harvard Seminar, that you can fudge the difference, thus Libya, leading from behind, Afghanistan, going against the advice of the military. Obama is no REAGAN.
