IMPEACH PRES OBAMA IF HE TAKES US TO WAR IN SYRIA WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL

IF Pres Obama takes military in Syria without congressional approval it will be an illegal act of war and an impeachable offense. He does not have the constitutional authority to commit American troops to war without the approval of the U.S. Congress. I voted for him twice, volunteered on his campaigns, donated to his campaigns. He has not been the president I hoped, and he lead us to believe, he would be. His policies have been a disappointment to the middle class, the poor, the working poor, the unemployed and underemployed, to the Progressive community, the environmental community, civil libertarians and to people of faith who believe in Christ's instructions for us in the Beatitudes. I do know he has been a better president than Sen john mccain and mitt romney would have been. But if Pres Obama takes us to war in Syria without congressional approval and congress, in response, impeaches him, I will be on the side of congress. I am tired of war and the resulting human waste. I do not support American intervention in the Syrian civil war.
Yes the Syrian civil war is a horrible, bloody tragedy, and the use of chemical weapons is a heinous crime against humanity. But that crime is not justification for our president to unilaterally wage war. I am proud of Sen Tim Kaine's stand on demanding the president obtain congressional approval before committing an act of war. Pres Obama hasn't shown much moral courage in standing up for  the American military personnel who have sacrificed so much in the past decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He hasn't shown much moral courage in standing up for 99% of the American people who have suffered so much in this "great" recession. He hasn't shown any moral courage in denying the greed of 1%. So our hope lies with congress, who collectively seem to have less morality than the president, to somehow muster that courage to deny President Obama the authority for military action in Syria, and if he takes us to war without their approval they will have to find the moral courage to impeach him.

Kaine Statement On Syria

Monday, August 26, 2013 WASHINGTON, D.C. –  U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South and Central Asian Affairs, released the following statement in response to Secretary of State John Kerry’s comments today on the use of chemical weapons in Syria:
“The use of chemical weapons and indiscriminate killing of Syrian citizens by the Assad regime is despicable.  Secretary Kerry’s efforts to work with our allies and partners on an appropriate response is important. I was pleased to hear Secretary Kerry say that the Administration is consulting with Congress as response options – including potential military options – are being considered. Absent an imminent threat to United States national security, the U.S. should not be engaged in military action without Congressional approval.  And while it’s important that we continue to work closely with our allies to help Syria achieve a negotiated, inclusive political solution, those who employ such weapons and indiscriminate violence must be held accountable.”
In July, Senator Kaine announced efforts to reform the War Powers Resolution in a way that lays out a clear consultative process between Congress and the President on whether and when to engage in military action.
