Obama and Panetta declare Congress invalid 2012 High Treason

In 2007 the Senator from Delaware Joe Biden was interviewed by Chris Matthews on Hardball where he repeatedly said " If the president were to invade Iran without Congressional approval-that is an impeachable offense " The president Joe Biden referred to was President George W. Bush. Since the day he uttered those words it is President Obama who has actually committed this act which Biden once called treasonous. It is President Obama who may now be facing this charge. Specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone the power to declare war, a restriction that has been tested in recent years, including Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya.

Walter B. Jones Jr., (R)N.C., introduced the House concurrent resolution 107 declaring that if the president uses offensive military force without authorization of an act of Congress, “it is the sense of Congress” that such an act would be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

Former US Congressional Rep Tom Tancredo told WND he believed Jones introduced the bill because of Secretary of Defenses Leon Panetta’s policy statement which would "violate the Constitution.” Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's testimony asserting that the United Nations and NATO have supreme authority over the actions of the United States military. Those words effectively declared Congress a ceremonial relic. Tancredo said that is what he believes prompted Congressman Walter Jones to introduce a resolution that re-affirms such behavior as an "impeachable high crime and misdemeanor" under the Constitution, specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone has the auhority to declare war, a restriction that has been sorely tested in recent years, including Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya.

My question still stands. Mr Biden if Congress should declare President Obamas behavior an impeachable offense, will you support congress?

President Obama must closely watch people close to him. Rate you up.

That's not impeachable. Sen. Biden was wrong when he said that about former Pres. Bush. All treaties supersede the US Constitution. You know that. NATO treaties and alliances trump constitutional law. It's in Article VI of the US Constitution.

Whether it is an impeachable offense or not is not at issue here. The purpose of the story is to highlight the partisan hypocrisy in Biden's original statement against Bush.
