the public has to be willing to confront the president to commit troops to foreign wars without seeking legislative authority. by calling for this house judiciary to hold impeachment hearings. i will say no action by a president would more warrant impeachment and removal that usurping war power from congress and undermining representative government and the system of checks and balances. members of congress need to understand their institutional duties and discharge them. not just their own duties that those of constituents in washington d.c.. members of congress take an oath to support and defend the constitution, not the president or the supreme court. thank you.

wars. can there be any better definition of an insane foreign policy than the one that today finds the united states not fully involved to the hilt in this irrelevant religious war but politically backing and frenetically arming both the major antagonists of the war, israel and saudi arabia. by being israel's cash cow and i'm questioning protector and the only protector of the fundamentally anti-american saudi state, washington has created a situation in which america will be drawn into any arab-israeli war that goes beyond any state other than palestine no matter of the wishes of the american people. having all but negated the ability of the united states to abstain from wars for oil and major wars between arabs and israelis, did u.s. political elite has compleetdz an -- completed its axis of doom through the democracy crusading a perversion for what america stands for that can only lead to war and more war. the america's elite democracy crusading in iraq has destabilized the entire region creating new threats to oil supply and making prices largely unpredictable. it's also cost american tax

war powers. there is a u.s. foreign-policy considerations in the broader middle east which have to be taken into account. you do have to take those into consideration. >> i think the president's letter and his address indicated stability in the region, but the larger issue was the possible humanitarian disaster that would ensue if there were a massacre that did take place. i think the three players that were most influential were those who were around at the time of rwanda, and that weighed heavily. i am talking out hillary clinton, susan rice, and samantha power who was writing about it at the time. starttake questions and out with the lady next to marty. >> i have two questions. i am a professor at george mason university. my question is, didn't congress by passing the war powers resolution violates the constitution in away, because they have -- only congress has the right to declare war. i think it is a ridiculous piece of regulation. they are giving themselves 60 days. you can blow up the world in two days, so givin
