Does The Post really think the Obama administration cares whether it is in violation of the War Powers Act (“War Powers Irresolution,” Editorial, June 21)?

This comes from a president who is doing everything in his power to slowly rip up the Constitution.

President Obama and his supporters have no regard for American law.

It’s interesting how liberals now defend an unauthorized war, abandoning their principles as they follow that Pied Piper, Obama.

Citizens on the left have remained relatively silent on targeted killings, civilian collateral damage, the Patriot Act, the Iraq War, Gitmo and accusations of torture.

They betrayed their environmental commitment by virtually ignoring Obama’s lethargic and detrimental response to the Gulf oil spill.

When they shunned the women Bush liberated in the Mideast, I knew they were capable of anything.

Presidents always have considered the War Powers Act unconstitutional. However, there should be no perplexity about censuring Obama for failure to seek congressional approval concerning Libya.

The Constitution does not allow restriction of our sovereignty, except by Senate treaty approval. Clearly, participating in military action with an international coalition must proceed from legislative authorization.

Notwithstanding the War Powers Act, Congress can decide if enough time has passed or if the conflict has intensified to the point that the president must obtain consent.

Obama’s spurious reasoning and arbitrary actions require congressional questioning and debate.
