Mitt Romney Says He Could Wage War on Iran Without Congress' Approval

reply to post by kennylee

Romney is the other side of the same coin as Obama. Our leaders on either side of the political spectrum have no respect to our Constitution or our laws. They are all for the Corporations and the Banksters. We need a complete overhaul of DC from the Congress on up.

No matter who is President, they will keep the warmongering going because the Elite want it. It doesnt matter what the people want and it hasnt for a long time. We as a country are screwed no matter who gets elected. Its a no-win situation for the people.

It's so sad to be right on the money, and yet realize that most are simply oblivious to all of this, isn't it?

What we really need, is legislation that limits the time that a President has in skirting Congress in acts of war. These deployments must have a defined end period. I agree that the NEED for the ability to do so is valid. However, without the time limit for that action to expire, and be reviewed by Congress, it makes the power completely IMMUNE to the checks and balances our government is based on, thereby making it unconstitutional.
