Impeach Obama for war in Libya without Congress

"President Obama should be impeached for his willful violation of the War Powers Act keeping American military forces involved in the ongoing war in Libya. He has failed the American people and has failed to carry out his legal duties as Commander-in-Chief because he has deliberately avoided requesting, and has not received, Congressional authorization for American military involvement in the Libyan war as required under the War Powers Act. The Constitution and the War Powers Act are the law of the land. As Commander-in-Chief the President has a sworn legal duty to not only uphold, but also to abide by, the law.

"The President is ignoring the will of the Congress and the will of the American people as he has on the economy throughout his presidency. But now he is willfully defying the law as well. "

Don't withdraw from Afghanistan until we achieve our goals

Linker said he is "all for ending our mission in Afghanistan but only after we have achieved our goals: The Afghan security forces must be sufficiently prepared to protect the country and the government must be stable enough to survive on its own."
