IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

March 7, 2012

Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

---

CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONExpressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

I will post more articles as I find them.
PS I don't really think anything is going to come of this. Just found it interesting. 
Oh I don't think it is going to go anywhere. If congress really wanted to fight the president's go to war power they would have done it in the courts. They did it once with Dellum v. Bush, but the court threw it out because the case wasn't ripe. They stated Goldwater v. Cater “a dispute between congress and the president is not ready for judicial review unless and until each branch has taken action asserting its constitutional authority.” They would have to do that and take it back to court. As far as I know they have not.
