CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing 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 love how people are foolishly getting behind this bill as if it is an impeachment bill...it is not.
If anyone here actually bothered to pull their heads out, they would realise that what Rep Jones(R-NC) is attempting to put through is that from the point of passage of the Bill forward that, basically, any military action of any kind, unless it was a response to a direct threat, would have to be approved by Congress; any military action not approved by Congress being an impeachable offense from this point forward.
READ THE BILL people...
Understand how the system works.
No one is filing for the impeachment of the president.
It doesn't have any co-sponsors. It will not pass.
Republicans wouldn't cripple themselves as such with a confrontation with Iran looming, especially not in an election year.

The Constitution also states that Representatives shall not represent more than 30,000 constituents.
Representatives currently represent more than 700,000 constituents a piece.

I believe to simplify it that congress has finally gotten upset with Obama and woken up. Because he stepped on their powers and questioned their rights to govern for a change instead of just trampling the constitution and screwing the American people. Suxs when the shoe is on the other foot doesn't it boys.

Really? I had no idea. Can you link to that text? I would like to read it. That is interesting.
