>Impeach President Obama, Linker Says
(Ridgewood, NJ): Last night on the Susan Settenbrino radio show, conservative, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from New Jersey Ian Linker called on the U.S. House of Representatives to issue articles of impeachment for President Barack Obama. This morning, he issued the following statement:
“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.
“When Presidents can willfully violate the law, as the President has done, our beloved democratic system of government cannot survive. This is a nation of laws, not of men – President Obama should be removed from office.
“Once again, 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, and has failed to uphold his oath of office. I urge the House of Representatives to issue and approve articles of impeachment when they return to Washington next week.”
