"The time has come for the world to move in a new direct. We must embrace.." - Obama's speech to the UN
How Obama Ignored Congress, and Misled America, on War in Libya
An inside look at his pre-war decisionmaking reveals how the public was misled and the constitution ignored
....
...That is quite a precedent Obama has set. And Mitt Romney is ready to exploit it if he wins. As he put it: "I can assure you if I'm president, the Iranians will have no question but that I will be willing to take military action if necessary to prevent them from becoming a nuclear threat to the world. I don't believe at this stage, therefore, if I'm president that we need to have a war powers approval or special authorization for military force. The president has that capacity now."

I think you should be happy that thee peaceful unconstitutional president of US is going to bring peace to the world by any mean.
I am staying awake to see how much peace he is going to bring to the world.
If this Administration wasn't so damn dangerous, it would be so damn hilarious. I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Once upon a time ..in a nation far far away from the time we live in today ..the mere appearance of conflict was enough to warrant avoiding something. Appearances actually mattered. It didn't take a careful reading of law and Constitutional principle by even a layman to be sure there wasn't one.

So you would find no issue if Obama became president of the UN while still president of the US?

That's an interesting take. I never thought of it that way.
Thanks. I'll have to chew on that for awhile. So there is no designated place the UN usually meets? There is no oath in trying to achieve world peace, economic stability, and cooperation? The UN holds no responsibility right? It can't back a war - as in picking a side? It can't issue countries any threats in a collaborative effort among those who are party? It has - for example - no authoritative right to demand sanctions on any country?
