Ron Paul: Libya Airstrikes Unconstitutional – Only Congress Can Declare War

Mr. Speaker: I rise to introduce a resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the President is required to obtain in advance specific statutory authorization for the use of United States Armed Forces in response to civil unrest in Libya. As many in the administration, Congress, and elsewhere clamor for the president to initiate military action to support those seeking to overthrow the Libyan regime, Congress sits by, as usual, pretending that Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution does not exist. According to this long-ignored section, ‘‘The Congress shall have Power To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.”

The Congress of The United States of America is the only authority empowered by the Constitution to declare war, not the Executive Branch, not Obama, not a collection of globalist, socialist, and Marxist assembled in New York.

Obama’s war in Libya is straight out of his play book to supplant the United States Constitution with an unelected, unaccountable, corrupt UN world order organization. Obama’s decision to attack Libya is an act of war against a sovereign state in which a grab bag of globalists have decided to intervene in an unambiguous civil war. His actions are illegal and impeachable.

The Left went absolutely insane over George W. Bush’s unauthorized declaration of war against Iraq. The coward congress issued not even a squeak with the violation of its sole power to declare war. The mainstream media beat Bush and congress unmercifully for the constitutional violation.

Where are the Left and its mouthpieces now? Could it be that they too acknowledge the UN having superior authority over the Constitution in the matter of the United States committing an act of war against a sovereign nation that has not attacked the United States.

Gaddafi is a criminal but not the only criminal in control of a country. The serious constitutional issue of a president taking the nation to yet another war without specific authorization to do so by congress aside, how many other countries throughout the world have criminal governments? How and when does a president decide to attack any one of them involving our nation illegally?

There are confirmed reports that over 200 citizens of Nigeria have been slaughtered by opposing political and tribal interest in the lead up to a scheduled national election. Where are the Left and its media? Where is Obama?  Robert Mugabe, the gangster dictator/president of Zimbabwe routinely kills, beats, jails, tortures, and starves his political opponents. Where are Obama, England, France, and the UN? Where are the Left and its media stooges?

At this very moment Saudi Kingdom tanks have rolled into and attacked and killed anti- government protesters in Barhrain on behalf of the king of Barhrain. Where are Obama, and the rest of the Left wing globalists? What exactly is the difference between anti-government forces in Bahrain and anti-government forces in Libya? Is the United States going to seek UN approval to declare war on Saudi Arabia and Barhrain, and if not why not?

If the American people do not insure that any violation of the United States Constitution is promptly stopped and punished, we may just as well continue to sit on our hands and seriously think about inviting the United Nations or Fidel Castro or even better SEIU to take over.
