Resolution 107



A warning to Obama from Congress…We will impeach you!

To read the full text of the resolution on the library of congress web site click here- House Concurrent Resolution 107

The full wording of H. Con. Res. 107, which is currently referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, is as follows:

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

Finally…Let the president be duly warned.

Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., has introduced a resolution declaring that… should the president again use offensive military force without authorization of an act of Congress, “it is the sense of Congress” that such an act would be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.” (An impeachable offence)

Specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone the power to declare war, a restriction that has been sorely tested in recent years, including Obama’s authorization of military force ‘in Libya’.

In an exclusive WorldNetDaily column, former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo said “Almost every week brings a new reason for the United States House of Representatives to bring impeachment charges against President Obama. The question of the day is not why he should be impeached but why it hasn’t already been done.” My thoughts exactly!

Watch the video of Sen. Jeff Sessions of the Armed services committee congressional hearing of the recent startling comments from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta as well as General Dempsey and the follow-up news clips.

Watch a video of Joe Biden on a news interview saying the President should be impeached.

This week it was Secretary of Defense Panetta’s declaration before the Senate Armed Services Committee “he and President Obama look not to the Congress for authorization to bomb Syria but to NATO and the United Nations,” Tancredo writes. This led to Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., introducing an official resolution calling for impeachment should Obama take offensive action in Syria based on Panetta’s policy statement, because it would again violate the Constitution.

In response to questions from Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., over who determines the proper and legal use of the U.S. military. 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.” Emphasis mine

“Well, I’m almost breathless about that,” Sessions responded, “because what I heard you say is, ‘We’re going to seek international approval, and then we’ll come and ‘tell’ the Congress what we might do, and we might seek congressional approval.’ And I just want to say to you that’s a big [deal].” Emphasis mine

Sessions asked again, (referring to the Libyan conflict, and the potential Syrian conflict) “what was the legal basis for U.S. military force”, Panetta said “a NATO coalition or U.N. resolution”.

Sessions, dumbfounded by the answer, said... “Well, I’m all for having international support, but I’m really baffled by the idea that somehow an international assembly provides a legal basis for the United States military to be deployed in combat. ‘They can provide no legal authority.’ The only legal authority that’s required to deploy the United States military is of the Congress and the president and the law and the Constitution.” Emphasis mine

Now if you think Panetta or Dempsey are acting on there own here, you would be wrong my friend. This comes directly from an out of control Commander in Chief.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I only have one word…DICTATOR!  Has America already become an autocracy???

Obama should think of this resolution as a specific warning for him, because a Senate investigation and impeachment could cause the first domino to tip and his whole administration could collapse.

Please pray for our Nation…
