Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta - Congress Obsolete.
Congress says, Not So Fast!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HCON 107 IH
March 7, 2012
Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
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.

The Media will not report this ACT OF CONGRESS!
- Now Listen To Panetta:
Despite Sessions’ repeated efforts to get Panetta to acknowledge that the United States Congress is supreme to NATO and the United Nations, Panetta exalted the power of international bodies over the US Congress.

The Media will not report this ACT OF CONGRESS!
It serves always to distract the public councils and feeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine themselves with in their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.
If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
