Obama to Constitution: Drop Dead: "From the beginning of the US involvement in Libya, the Administration has cited the War Powers Act as the legal basis of our involvement there, saying that the President has up to sixty days to ask Congress for approval. That sixty days is up. What is President Obama saying now? He doesn't need Congress in this matter at all.
The President has back-tracked, now saying in a letter to Congress that they should pass a resolution as fast as possible to support him. However, if they don't, he writes, that he simply doesn't need it.
In the letter, the President explains:
“Since April 4. U.S. participation has consisted of: (1) non-kinetic support to the NATO-led operation, including intelligence, logistical support, and search and rescue assistance; (2) aircraft that have assisted in the suppression and destruction of air defenses in support of the no-fly zone; and (3) since April 23, precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles against a limited set of clearly defined targets in support of the NATO-led coalition's efforts.”
He continues:
“It has always been my view"
