Report: In Rare Move Obama Overruled Lawyers on Libya Air War

WASHINGTON (AP) — The New York Times is reporting that President Barack Obama decided he could continue the air war in Libya without congressional approval despite views to the contrary from Justice Department and Pentagon lawyers.

The newspaper reported Friday in its online edition that the president relied instead on the opinions of other senior administration lawyers that continuing U.S. participation in the air operations against the regime of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi did not constitute “hostilities,” triggering the need for congressional permission under the War Powers Resolution.

Presidents can ignore the advice of the Office of Legal Counsel, the paper reported, but rarely do so.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press.

For the rest of the article you must go to the Blaze.

He has no respect for our nation, our Laws or our Congress.  Obama knows that Congress is weak and has no spine and will continue to give him a free pass and cover up for him.  They will continue to lie for him too.  Americans wake up you can’t trust a word Obama or Progressives say, who work in government or congress.

If we had the Congress of 73 who went after Nixon, they would have started impeachment hearing for the removal of lying Obama and his disregard for American Laws.
