Will John Boehner and Congress Finally Take a Stand for the Constitution?

Mr. Speaker, I sure hope you aren’t all words. Your recent ultimatum to President Barack Obama over his war in Libya doesn’t look to be backed up by much. Other than requiring a ‘clear justification’ by the administration for continued action in Libya, there doesn’t seem to be much substance to your ultimatum. Are the threats of not complying strong enough? You say:

“The Constitution requires the president to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed,’ and one of those laws is the War Powers Resolution, which requires an approving action by Congress or withdrawal within 90 days from the notification of a military operation,â€

Sad to say, but it looks like Mr. Boehner is just another politician with no guts to do what has to be done. Looking more and more like he is just one of the good ole boys on Capitol Hill.
