Walter Jones
WASHINGTON – U.S. Reps. Walter Jones, R-N.C., and Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., along with retired senior defense intelligence officer Col. Walter P. Lang and the Veterans for Peace today said Congress must be consulted before Barack Obama would send American troops into Syria.

Or else.

At a press conference, Jones discussed his resolution to oppose American involvement in Syria without first consulting Congress.

His resolution, H.Con. Res. 107, expresses “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.”

Jones was responding to the growing potential for direct American involvement in Syria to support the opposition to President Bashar al-Assad.

Just as he was one of the few Republicans opposed to the war in Iraq, Jones again expressed his opposition to a war that would be conducted without the approval of Congress.

It is Congress, after all, that the Constitution entrusts to make a decision regarding war, he said.

His resolution comes at a time when America’s military presence in the region is rising. Just this week, U.S.-supplied Patriot missiles arrived in Turkey to protect it from the Syrian conflict that is spilling across borders.

Jones made specific reference to how Obama took the U.S. to war in Libya and never consulted Congress. He said he does not want to see that policy repeated.

Rangel said the procedure should be for the president to come to Congress, which “means come to the American people.”

“That is not asking too much,” he said.

Regarding to the situation in Syria, Lang, the former deputy director for military attachés and operations, said there is “a great deal of exaggeration going on” in the media’s coverage and portrayal of the events.

“The outcome is not at all certain,” he said, putting emphasis on the fact that Assad is “not close to defeat.”

He also noted that “regime change has been the policy of this government from the start” and said the U.S. recognizes the Syrian Opposition Coalition as the legitimate government of Syria, but “there is nothing in international” law that declares the Syrian Opposition Coalition to be the legitimate government of Syria.

When asked by WND how U.S. relations with Russia, the main supporter of the Assad regime, would be affected by U.S. intervention, both Jones and Rangel admitted that they had no idea.

That’s why, they say, the U.S. should not intervene.

Lang added that by militarily intervening in Syria, the U.S. could create a “World War I-like scenario” in which the conflict rapidly expands from nation to nation in the region, until finally the world’s great powers are in armed conflict with one another.

Jeffery Steinberg of the Executive Intelligence Review added that the possibility of a U.S.-Russian clash over Syria is “very much on the minds of the Russian political and military elite.”

He added, “Syria is a slippery slope.”

Rangel said: “I am just as patriotic as the next guy … but when somebody says our national security is threatened, then it is time to call up our troops in a draft. That is how I look at it. And if you cannot find it in your heart to step forward and make some sacrifice then we should not be involved.”

Asked what should be done if Obama follows through with military intervention in Syria, Jones said charges of impeachment must be brought.

Others expressing support for Jones’ ideas were Reps. Justin Amash, R-Mich.; Mo Brooks R-Ala.; Michael Michaud, D-Maine; and Ron Paul, R-Texas.

Their letter states: “Outside of an actual or imminent attack on America, the only precursor to war can be the authorization of Congress. We call on you to abide by our Constitution, and rely on our country’s representatives to decide when war is necessary.”

Four years in office, hundreds of high crimes and misdemeanors, aiding and abetting enemies of our country, deliberately weakening our economy as well as our defense. Lying to congress and the citizens of the United States, presenting false documents, violating his own oath of office, the list of crimes is too long to print here. Any one of those crimes constitutes treason against the United States. Now, finally, a couple of congressmen threaten to act IF he does something else. This is beyond pathetic.

Here's a little summary in a world record run-on sentence you and others here might find helpful:
Obama of bailouts, failed stimulus, takeover of the US vehicle industry except for Ford who told him to take a hike, outsourcing vehicle manufacturing overseas, Government Motors (GM), the Chevy Volt, screwing Chrysler stockholders and management in favor of union thugs, green energy failures like Solyandra and others, blocking US energy independence in fossil fuels, exploration, drilling, the Canada-US pipeline, determined to wipe out the coal industry and all its jobs, record unemployment, loss of jobs, people dropping out of the job market, growing government positions, Marxists and Islamists like Valerie Jarrett born in Iran and Huma Abedin with Muslim Brotherhood connections installed in his tyrannical, despotic, evil regime that hosts hundreds-thousands of Islamists to consult with him in the WH, record indebtedness, out of control government spending, bringing the US to the brink of financial collapse with no ability to defend itself if sequestration kicks in after the end of this month, his whispered promise to Medvedev to take back to Putin on unilateral nuclear disarmament, failure to close Gitmo, bypassing the Congress to give amnesty to illegal immigrants and their young children brought here underage, using welfare in record amounts and other “free” stuff for votes, forcing through the unaffordable, bankrupting Affordable Healthcare Act aka Obamacare by in the dark of the night deals then threatening the Supreme Court to which he had appointed harridans who should have recused themselves, a flood of new taxes and regulations crashing down on all Americans, advocating “free” birth control for single women, birth control by murder - abortion on demand, putting babies live born from botched abortions out to die alone, government funding of Planned Parenthood that has never, cannot and does not do mammograms, NPR, PBS, failure to deal effectively with Islamic jihadists including those well positioned in the US with 35 known Islamic jihad terrorist training camps and mosques, Islamic Societies and such up from 1200 or so 10 years ago to at least 2000 according to Obama now, a growth in Muslim population in the US from 5M or so to at least 7-10M, some US cities taken over by Islamists, e.g., Dearbornstan in Michiganstan, al-Qaeda spread from Afghanistan/Iraq to Africa, Yemen and elsewhere, the Benghazi tragedy that he caused, US troops sent without consulting with Congress to Libya, Jordan on the border with Syria, in Turkey north of Syria, favortism to Islamists
over Israel and the US, aid to Hamas in the Gaza Strip including millions of taxpayer $$ for them to immigrate here, ineffectiveness in dealing with Iran’s development of nuclear weapons and delivery systems, same in North Korea, leaving a former US Marine chained to his bed in a notorious Mexican prison right now, Fast & Furious, and the list goes on has named Biden who suffers from dementia leading to Alzheimer’s to head a select committee to solve violence in the US by negating the 2d Amdt. What next? 1st, 3rd-10th Amdts in a stinking Constitution he disregarded even by running for president, “winning” by massive voter fraud and other chicanery in the true Chi-town thug way.
What could possibly go wrong? I feel so much better, safer and more secure for the future after his mid-day announcement today - another day that will live in infamy in the history of the US long after the US becomes the Marxist Islamic Republic of Obama. “Hope for Change” and “Forward” some of you go merrily along like obedient tiny lemmings.

HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED ASAP, FOR "ALL THE THINGS HE'S DONE -AGAINST AMERICA, HER PEOPLE, AND HER FREEDOMS HE HAS ERODED".

What is even more dangerous is letting him keep signing these Executive Orders that will take our country down faster than anything he can do. E.O.'s were not put into place for what's Obama is doing with them. I understand they're set in stone once signed.

Roberto Enrique Benitez  203333 • 2 hours ago
Please state what law states that someone who used a false Selective Service number can't serve as president? I don't believe there is one. Nor is there any law that forbids someone from serving as president for previous felonies unless they're committed while in federal office.

HOWEVER: There're several provable reasons for impeachment.

First he has never shown his real HA long form BC. Even if he had one the games he's played make such an impeachable offense.

Second, he attacked Libya without consulting Congress.

Third, he's appointed officials without Senate approval while Congress was in session.

Fourth, he ordered Americans incarcerated and killed without due process.

Fifth, he refused to send aid to rescue Americans at Benghazi. Depending on the reason why this might have been an act of treason.

Sixth, he took foreign campaign donations.

Seventh, he engaged in a coverup of Operation Fast & Furious and Project Gunrunner. Again, depending on the reasons why these could be acts of treason.

Eighth, he used executive agencies to threaten opponents and their backers during the election.

Ninth, he revealed classified info resulting in possible deaths of Seal Team members and imprisonment of a man who helped get bin Laden and also endangered an ally. These are other possible acts of treason depending on the reasons.

Tenth, ordered secret amnesty program for illegals and penalized states who did what the federal government wouldn't do, control our borders from invasion.

So far I have a list of over 60 more offenses i believe are impeachable. Sadly the GOP hasn't the courage or integrity to impeach Obama even if the Democrat Senate would never convict a Democrat president.

sss.gov FEDERAL JOBS A man must be registered to be eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal government and the U.S. Postal Service. Proof of registration is required only for men born after December 31, 1959.
Some states have added additional penalties for those who fail to register.

To save face, a select few are chosen to blow smoke up our backsides. But in the end, along side of all these past illegal laws and actions of war of administrations present and past, nothing will come of this but temporary appeasement.
And those of us who can see and are unafraid, will shake our heads and furrow our brows at those who can see but refuse the reality staring blankly back at them.

....impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution?

Obama has already committed TREASON, many times, for failing to uphold and constant actions to impede enforcement and subvert the existing immigration laws of the United States. Obama has allowed unchecked invasion of illegal aliens during our declared war on international terrorism.

....Oh, and Obama is NOT a natural born citizen either. His birth certificate is a fake!

Thank you, Walter Jones! it is time someone stepped up to the plate and demanded the executive branch of the government stay within his power rather that taking over the Legislative and the Judicial as well. This president (?) has assumed he had been given this country to do as he wished and he has succeeded up to this point while most of Congress and the courts, both lower and supreme, has sat on their thumbs! I pray there are others in Washington who will be nobel enough to honor their 'OATH OF OFFICE!"

At the least, Barry is the precursor to the anti-Christ. He is Evil. He did not legitimately win re-election. His actions are treasonable. The majority of the citizens did not elect him and thus they will not support him. American WILL change back to a country we can support. It is not over yet. Barry is not yet a two term Pres.
