Obama impeachment bill gaining steam.(Examiner).By Jeffrey Phelps.Hoping to soon pass committee and make it to the house is HCR 107, a bill threatening the possibility of the impeachment of the President of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors, now thrust into the spotlight.
Citing a demand Wednesday that Obama
regain respect for the War Powers Act, constitutional laws that restrict a
President from waging a war without first receiving the approval of the people
and its Congress, was the architect of the legislation, 9-term North Carolina
Congressman,,Walter
Jones.
Thanking the most popular internet radio
show and its host, Alex Jones, was Congressman Jones, grateful for the opportunity to speak to
the perfect audience for gaining support and momentum for this type of bill. One
that already has multiple co-sponsors.After all, it was Ron Paul and his supporters who
started the modern Tea Party on the very same radio show in 2007, with
dedicated listeners and supporters that helped the movement eventually gain
national prominence in the 2010 mid-terms, with many ‘unsuspecting’ upsets and
likely more on the way.
Stating the need to reign the Peace Prize White
House in from continuing the constant, deafening pounding on the drums of war,
the Congressman used Libya as a prime example, alleging the constitution
explicitly states something the government has mysteriously allowed a free pass
on for far too long…Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution. Alex Jones
added Article I, Section 8, Clause 11.
In order to garner approval for the actions taken
against Gaddafi in Libya, for instance, Obama went even one step further by
openly waging a war, with US troops and equipment, with only an OK by the UN, again declaring Congress totally
irrelevant.
Even Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta recently reiterated the
startling sentiments in an Armed Services Committee meeting, ones he shared a couple months
earlier, while echoing the administration’s open disrespect for the law and
arguing for the UN’s authority, over the US, to use the US military overseas,
for its own agenda. Open and clear violations that could present a clear and
present danger to US national security.
Especially after such egregious acts of war taken
by the last few successive administrations, with 2 or 3 panels of experts on the
constitution available for testimony, Congressman Jones is looking to fashion a
hearing by July, before the committee moves it to the floor.
He’s confident, with the situation at hand, he
may finally get enough members of congress to move this type of resolution
forward in the house.
Ron Paul and Congressman Jones was with mostly
Republicans in 1999 filing suit on Clinton’s decision to bomb Kosovo, but
the courts used the easy to say, yet seemingly impossible to accomplish, excuse
that “congress has the power to cut the war budgets.”
Last year it was he and only five other
Congressman, two other Republicans including Ron Paul and three Democrats,
including Dennis Kucinich, confidently taking it to the courts again over
Obama’s decision to bomb Libya, with the courts repeating the excuse that
Congress already has the ability to cut the funding if they really wanted.
The courts know Congress is very unlikely to cut
the war budget, however, because of the political pressure of not wanting to
leave the military high and dry during actions overseas, a vicious cycle that
perpetuates the problem.
But the broadcast reminded listeners that,
technically, the President isn’t even legally “Commander and Chief” until an
official Declaration of War is given by Congress as an OK for the President to
begin war-time operations against an aggressor. Stunningly, this is something
that hasn’t actually happened since prior to the Korean War.
Since the TV boom, however, the government has
magically been able to get away with waging wars without approval, on just about
whomever they’ve wanted to, and Congress has done virtually nothing to remain
relevant against a consistently over-reaching Executive Branch.
All this could very well be a large part of the
reason polls have long-stated Congressional approval ratings to be under an astounding 10%
for years, with still nothing ever reasonably done to regain the people’s
confidence.
Obama is also the first sitting President to ever
join a foreign governing body while still sitting President. He
accepted the duty of acting Chair of the UN Security Council, even striking the
gavel in open session, a clear violation of the Constitution of the United
States of America.
Something you’d think a President who happens to
also be a former “constitutional law professor” would know is highly illegal and
sure to eventually, hopefully attract the attention of the people and its
Congress.
Officially introduced to the congressional
legislature on March 7tth, the actual title of Congressman Jones’ bill reads,
“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,”
Congressman Jones has also been seen recently
spelling out a great case for a Trading with the Enemy Act argument, against
Obama, for publicly funding Al Qaeda in Libya with money, weapons and
training.
Obama has allegedly used a widely-known, enemy
terrorist group, supposedly the prime suspects in the WTC attacks on 9/11, to
further an overseas political agenda, apparently also largely run by the UN, at
the expense of the US military/taxpayer.
Senator, Prescott Bush, Grandfather to George W.
Bush, was also tied to a seizure of the Union Bank and its assets in 1942, suspected of holding gold of behalf of NAZI leaders during WW
II.
It seems as though the more things change, the
more they actually stay the same. Until now, if the necessary support for HCR
107 has anything to do with it.
Congressmen
Jones, Kucinich, Paul and many others ask that citizens and all supporters of
the bill call the US Capital switch-board, at 202-224-3121, and ask to speak to
your Representative.
They will put you through to your
Representative’s office and there you can ask them to co-sponsor and/or support
the bill, H.C.R. 107, to help insure the President follows the law and
uses the proper channels before waging a war on yet another
country.
