Hunter: Obama could be impeached if he strikes Syria without authorization

[DevonRex]

36. Total pacifist? Of course not.

None would be in their positions if they were. They have been reluctant in the past to use force.

As to what my post had to do with the thread, well, it was simply pointing out that there are more facets to this than most people think about. The President's next move may depend on a more complex situation than has been presented so far. Or talked about publicly so far.

It seems obvious to me that any talk of impeachment would depend on the facts available at some unknown point in the future after President Obama has completed some unknown action for some unknown reason. (After which of course we in the BOG would supposedly do horrendous things to sweet people who only stopped in to give us their best wishes.)

One thing we know is that simply talking tough has increased defections from the Syrian Army. So the idea that the President may override Congress has already had value in itself. Something to think about.
