You're still repeating this canard after abdicating on your pledge to find support for it?

War Powers Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the exclusive power to declare war, in the following wording:
[Congress shall have Power...] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; As you can see, the authority to declare was lies with the Congress, not the President.

War Powers Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war. As you can see this is in violation of the Constitution. Additionally, Obama is currently in violation of the violation. So I dunno what that makes what he's doing. Do two negatives make a positive?

As to the third demand you made....I have no need to answer that as what you said contradicts itself and doesn't even make logical sense. So basically you answered that demand yourself using a logic fallacy.

Happy?
