When Obama took unilateral action in Libya without Congressional approval, he violated the Constitution for the umpteenth time. The question now arises: Will he do it again?
Obama evidently thinks the United Nations rules what the United States does. He thinks that by signing on to their small arms treaty, he will force U.S. Citizens to give up on the Second Amendment and turn in their guns. Likewise, he feels he has to ask them for permission to go after Syria and he simultaneously leaves out getting authority from Congress. (Although I am not in favor of taking any action in Syria, I do think Congress should give permission, if asked.)
I believe that, unless the United Nations asks us to intervene or unless Syria takes some overt action against the U.S., we have no legal basis to attack that nation. And yes, beyond doubt the use of chemical weapons by Assad is reprehensible and heinous. But, where does it say that we have any obligation whatsoever in International Law to intercede in another country's internal affairs? In fact, the way things are in Syria right now, both sides in this Civil war are our enemies; why not just let them kill each other off?
If Obama acts again without Congressional sanction, I submit he is the de facto dictator and that he must be impeached and removed.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
