ACK!
Your loverboy Billy Clinton did away with that, yeah.
See back in Kosovo he took the reins away from Congress that they put on Old Tricky Dick.
The issue of presidential authority to deploy forces in the absence of congressional authorization,
under the War Powers Resolution, or otherwise, became an issue of significant controversy in late
March 1999 when President Clinton ordered U.S. military forces to participate in a NATO-led
military operation in Kosovo. This action has become the focus of an ongoing policy debate over
the purpose and scope of U.S. military involvement in Kosovo. The President’s action to commit
forces to the NATO Kosovo operation also led to a suit in Federal District Court for the District of
Columbia by some Members of Congress seeking a judicial finding that the President was
violating the War Powers Resolution and the Constitution by using military forces in Yugoslavia
in the absence of authorization from the Congress.
The Kosovo controversy began in earnest when on March 26, 1999, President Clinton notified the
Congress “consistent with the War Powers Resolution,” that on March 24, 1999, U.S. military
forces, at his direction and in coalition with NATO allies, had commenced air strikes against Yugoslavia in response to the Yugoslav government’s campaign of violence and repression
against the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo. Prior to the President’s action, the Senate, on
March 23, 1999, had passed, by a vote of 58-41, S.Con.Res. 21, a nonbinding resolution
expressing the sense of the Congress that the President was authorized to conduct “military air
operations and missile strikes in cooperation with our NATO allies against the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).

Subsequently, the House voted on a number of measures relating to U.S. participation in the
NATO operation in Kosovo. On April 28, 1999, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1569,
by a vote of 249-180. This bill would prohibit the use of funds appropriated to the Defense
Department from being used for the deployment of “ground elements” of the U.S. Armed Forces
in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia unless that deployment is specifically authorized by law.
On that same day the House defeated H.Con.Res. 82, by a vote of 139-290. This resolution would
have directed the President, pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove
U.S. Armed Forces from their positions in connection with the present operations against the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. On April 28, 1999, the House also defeated H.J.Res. 44, by a
vote of 2-427. This joint resolution would have declared a state of war between the United States
and the “Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.” The House on that same day also
defeated, on a 213-213 tie vote, S.Con.Res. 21, the Senate resolution passed on March 23, 1999,
that supported military air operations and missile strikes against Yugoslavia. On April 30, 1999,
Representative Tom Campbell and 17 other Members of the House filed suit in Federal District
Court for the District of Columbia seeking a ruling requiring the President to obtain authorization
from Congress before continuing the air war, or taking other military action against Yugoslavia.

The Senate, on May 4, 1999, by a vote of 78-22, tabled S.J.Res. 20, a joint resolution, sponsored
by Senator John McCain, that would authorize the President “to use all necessary force and other
means, in concert with United States allies, to accomplish United States and North Atlantic Treaty
Organization objectives in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro).” The
House, meanwhile, on May 6, 1999, by a vote of 117-301, defeated an amendment by
Representative Istook to H.R. 1664, the FY1999 defense supplemental appropriations bill, that
would have prohibited the expenditure of funds in the bill to implement any plan to use U.S.
ground forces to invade Yugoslavia, except in time of war. Congress, meanwhile, on May 20,
1999, cleared for the President’s signature H.R. 1141, an emergency supplemental appropriations
bill for FY1999, that provided billions in funding for the existing U.S. Kosovo operation.

Moloch says thanks, boys.

On May 25, 1999, the 60th day had passed since the President notified Congress of his actions
regarding U.S. participation in military operations in Kosovo. Representative Campbell, and
those who joined his suit, noted to the Federal Court that this was a clear violation of the
language of the War Powers Resolution stipulating a withdrawal of U.S. forces from the area of
hostilities occur after 60 days in the absence of congressional authorization to continue, or a
presidential request to Congress for an extra 30-day period to safely withdraw. The President did
not seek such a 30-day extension, noting instead that the War Powers Resolution is
constitutionally defective. On June 8, 1999, Federal District Judge Paul L. Friedman dismissed
the suit of Representative Campbell and others that sought to have the court rule that President
Clinton was in violation of the War Powers Resolution and the Constitution by conducting
military activities in Yugoslavia without having received prior authorization from Congress. The
judge ruled that Representative Campbell and others lacked legal standing to bring the suit
(Campbell v. Clinton, 52 F. Supp. 2d 34 (D.D.C. 1999)). Representative Campbell appealed the
ruling on June 24, 1999, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The appeals
court agreed to hear the case. On February 18, 2000, the appeals court affirmed the opinion of the District Court that Representative Campbell and his co-plaintiffs lacked standing to sue the
President. (Campbell v. Clinton, 203 F.3d 19 (D.C. Cir. 2000)). On May 18, 2000, Representative
Campbell and 30 other Members of Congress appealed this decision to the United States Supreme
Court. On October 2, 2000, the United States Supreme Court, without comment, refused to hear
the appeal of Representative Campbell thereby letting stand the holding of the U.S. Court of
Appeals. (Campbell v. Clinton, cert. denied, 531U.S. 815 October 2, 2000).

oh, great
Not sure of the significance of this, but just looked up War Powers Resolution
This on wiki was just put up 6 hours ago.

During the week of October 3, 1994, Iraq began sending two additional divisions to join regular
forces in southern Iraq, close to the border of Kuwait. On October 8, President Clinton responded
by sending about 30,000 additional U.S. forces and additional combat planes to join the forces
already in the Gulf area. He said the United States would honor its commitment to defend Kuwait
and enforce U.N. resolutions on Iraq. Congress recessed on October 8 until November 29, 1994,
so it did not discuss the issue of congressional authorization. On October 28, President Clinton
reported to Congress that by October 15 there were clear indications that Iraq had redeployed its
forces to their original location. On November 7, the Defense Department announced 7,000 of the
U.S. forces would be withdrawn before Christmas.
We all know what happened next.
But nothing ever happens, right?
RIGHT?

They can file all they want but their boys Billybob l, Georgie Porgie, and Obama Rama shot the War Powers Act so full of holes it'll never float again.

Guess everyone ought to run out and fill up, eh?

Bill Clinton simply declared The War Powers Act unconstitutional and did as he wished with more than just an intern, and Anka is dead because of it
So is The War Powers Act.

Reread the Phillip Threads.
We don't need Hormuz anyway.
Opening ANWR on an emergency expedited basis.
And if Canada provides refuge to the current rulers of Iran we will go in and take them and use that a a pretext for taking the BC and Alberta oil fields as well.
Nothing personal sorry eh?
