Does a president of the U.S. have “Commander-in-Chief” title and status if Congress has not declared war?

This is a debatable issue. According to the Constitution:

“Section 2. Clause 1. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Office, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”

The key phrase above is “when called into the actual Service of the United States”. Only Congress can “call into actual Service” by formal declaration of war.

“There’s a lot of confusion, on right and left alike, regarding the president’s war powers under the Constitution. Here’s an overview of the most common claims on behalf of such powers, along with replies to these claims.

“The president has the power to initiate hostilities without consulting Congress.” [Quote not from the Constitution but one of the “common interpretations”. -ed]

“Ever since the Korean War, Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution – which refers to the president as the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States” – has been interpreted this way.

“But what the framers actually meant by that clause was that once war has been declared, it was the President’s responsibility as commander-in-chief to direct the war. Alexander Hamilton spoke in such terms when he said that the president, although lacking the power to declare war, would have “the direction of war when authorized or begun.” The president acting alone was authorized only to repel sudden attacks (hence the decision to withhold from him only the power to “declare” war, not to “make” war, which was thought to be a necessary emergency power in case of foreign attack).”

Technically speaking, it can be reasoned that a President is only “Commander-in-Chief” when the legislature (Congress) has declared war (and note above that the President alone cannot declare war).

Obama gives arms and money to Al Qeada in Syria, thus committing treason. Obama and Hillary give arms and money to Al Qeada in Libya, thus committing treason. Obama “trades” a Taliban insurgent (US deserter) for the 5 most dangerous Taliban terrorists, thus committing treason. So, three counts of treason, so far. Anybody who can’t see the fact that Obama is funding, supporting, releasing, and is 100% behind Muslim jihadists is completely blind, dumb, or insane.

Obama Apologizes for Bergdahl Fiasco

Surprised by the adverse public and (more importantly) press reaction to the trade which saved POW private Bowe Bergdahl from the Taliban’s extremist Tea Party wing, President Barack Obama today issued a public apology for the deal.

Speaking off the record to a news conference for his closest four or five hundred journOlist friends, the President said “I’m sorry President Bush screwed this up so badly. Obviously, if I had been in charge, better decisions would have been made.”

The president went on to say he only heard about the trade while watching the evening news on MSNBC.

“If someone had told me about this earlier, I would’ve stepped in and demanded to be involved in the process.”

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Diane Feinstein also issued an apology, saying “I wish to apologize for my Republican colleagues whose failure to give us 30 days notice regarding the illegal prisoner swap they were considering caused this whole fiasco. And I’m shocked and appalled that they have so little regard for the law they passed and forced President Obama to sign.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, interviewed at Katie’s restaurant in Wilmington DE (which he and VP Joe Biden both assure us still exists), echoed Senator Feinstein’s words and added “I also wish to apologize for the Koch Brothers who I’m sure are the motivating force for this un-American action.”

Most of the Democrats were willing to accept the president’s apology – as one put it, “Oh well, stupid sh*t will happen” – but some were not as conciliatory.

Obama Trades All Remaining Gitmo Detainees for Magic Beans

On the heels of his widely-praised exchange of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five captured Taliban commanders, which Democratic strategists are comparing to trading General George Patton for five taxi drivers, President Obama went them one better and swapped all remaining Guantanamo detainees for a bag of magic beans. “These beans are valuable, and we can’t have Taliban leaders away from their units for very long” Obama said “The need to be fighting the corrupt Americans in Afghanistan, where they belong”. Obama further encouraged more soldiers to desert their units and join the Taliban, and “spread the wealth around” about their military knowledge and know-how.

In announcing the trade, Secretary of State John Kerry stated, “President Obama has unloaded hundreds of unskilled laborers and taxi drivers whom we already have enough of, and transported them from Gitmo to Afghanistan where they will be more likely to find jobs that fit their training and aspirations, like driving a cab, or follow their dream of being an artist or a poet.” Kerry went on to say “We’ve retrained them for more explosive and deadly suicide bombings, and given them maps to were our troops are stationed”.

“The magic beans he obtained from the Taliban in the trade will grow into large beanstalks which will pierce the cloud cover of Republican obstructionism surrounding the planet, and help alleviate climate change. It’s a win-win,” Kerry said. Both Kerry and Obama said “through our media contacts, we’re confident the American public will both support this trade, and see the value of magic beans, after all, the media can even spin treasonous presidentail behavior into something positive, they’re masters of bullshit”.

“This is a big effing deal,” said Vice President Joe Biden praising the trade. “For years the enemy has claimed our foreign policy was based on magical thinking. This swap is proof that we are guided by practicality and realism,” Biden said, adding in passing that “someone’s been eating [his] porridge.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid also made a supportive statement, noting that the giant beanstalks will help reduce the deficit: “We can send people to climb up the beanstalks and steal gold from the giant Koch Brothers, who have hidden it in a castle in the clouds so they wouldn’t have to pay taxes on it. Fee, fi, fo, fum,” stated Reid.

State Department’s Senior Twitterer, Jen Psaki, preempted any hostile criticism by Tweeting that the idea of growing large beanstalks around the White House has nothing to do with making it difficult to see what’s going on inside, nor is it an attempt to distract attention from alleged “scandals,” such as, the VA and Benghazi. “If anything, President Obama does not give himself enough credit for all his accomplishments in the last five years. He doesn’t need magic plants to hide his successes from the public,” Psaki Tweeted. Psaki dismissed allegations of treason, saying “the Taliban and Al Qeada are misunderstood, they’ve been downtrodden and abused by Bush, and they are entitled to have both their leaders back, and deserters from the US military instructing and supplying them”.

UN Ambassador Susan Rice led the Administration’s effort to sell the transaction to TV viewers, telling a Sunday cooking show that “magic beans can be served with honor and distinction, especially with a main dish of fowl, such as crow.”

In a rare public statement, Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban Taxi Drivers’ Union, called the swap a “victory” for President Obama in his fight against climate change. “Allah willing, we will continue to aid Obama’s jihad against non-believers in global warming.” Omar went on to say “Obama is our biggest ally in the fight against America. We’re going to win, Allah and Obama willing”.

“Since he’s clean out of detainees, maybe Obama can trade more of our magic beans for something else he doesn’t need, like spent plutonium, for example. Our mountain caves make excellent toxic waste repositories. Call me if you want to trade, Barack,” stated Omar, holding his thumb and index finger out in the traditional “phone call” hand gesture.

Stucky,

I was in A Co, 1/507th Parachute Infantry for awhile. This Bergdahl shitbag was in a sister regiment – the 501st… which makes me pretty goddamned furious…

And his betrayal and dishonor all the worse.

The hatred I feel for this piece of dog shit is rarefied… that special kind of hate I reserve only for special occasions and for those who really deserve it… pederasts, rapists, traitors… the kind that spawns generational grudges and blood feuds…

The US entered Afghanistan in 2001. Bergdahl enlisted in 2008. We had had elections in 2002, 2004 and 2006 before he enlisted. Hell, 2006 was the year the Dems routed the Repubs in large part due to revulsion over the wars. It was two years LATER that Bergdahl volunteered. He wasn’t drafted. Any crowing about “Bush’s wars” is bullshit – as it relates to Bergdahl. Cripes, while Bergdahl was volunteering Obama was defeating Hillary for the nomination – using the wars as a cudgel. 2009 was a fine time indeed for Bergdahl to have qualms about the US action in Afghanistan. The guy is a piece of shit – as is his freak show father.

It sounds like his CIA file was purged of facts that would make Bergdahl look like anything other than a “hero”. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/06/03/Chambliss-Bergdahl-Classified-File-Didn-t-Include-Desertion-Note-NY-Times-Reported-About

While we’re on the subject of people exchanges, I have a suggestion. For every hardworking Mexican who crosses our border illegally, I want to send to Mexico one of our lazyass FSA members. I volunteer to be on the selection committee. We’ll grant asylum on a one for one basis until we run out of freeloaders or the Mexicans quit coming.

OBAMA TRADES JAPAN AND SOUTH KOREA TO CHINA FOR GINSU KNIFE SET!

SLAP MY HAND, YELLOW SOUL MAN!

In a shocking development late today, the White House announced President Barack Obama has completed a deal with the Chinese government to trade Japan and South Korea in exchange for a Ginsu Knife set. And a first round future terrorist trade pick at Guantanamo. The deal will certainly have drastic repercussions among Pacific Rim countries as China will be free to flex their growing muscle against their neighbors in the South China Sea.

President Obama made the announcement in the Rose Garden to the Washington Propaganda Press Corp. He said:

“I am pleased to announce that America will no longer honor decades old treaties that promise America’s protection for the freedoms of our good friends in Japan and South Korea. That responsibility will now fall to the peaceful nation of China. And I will now be free to further concentrate my last few decades as President towards slashing governmental cost and waste as I have done for the past five and a half years!

I can think of no gift more symbolic of my ongoing mission of slashing deficits and debt than a Chinese-made Ginsu Knife set!”

Not everyone involved was pleased with President’s announcement. South Korean President Park Geun-Hye said:

“What the clap? Plesident Obama has arienated the South Kolean people in a rearry rotten deal for us! And for a lotten knife set? I mean, rearry Mister Plesident?! This is not Gangham style for us, Mr Plesident! So solly but China does not care one lat’s ass for Kolean fleedoms and riberties! We feel totarry sclewed by Amelica!”

Reports from White House insiders say this deal was put together over a phone call from the Chinese President Xi Jinping to President Obama while the President was watching the final minutes of the San Antonio Spurs/Oklahoma Thunder NBA playoff game last Sunday evening. It is also reported Obama verbally agreed on the phone call to allow the Chinese military to provide security to all US ports and military bases on the American homeland. President Xi Jinping of China said he looks forward to further negotiations with Obama scheduled during the upcoming NBA championship series between the Spurs and Miami Heat.

The Audacity Of Hussein: Obama Rubs His Jihad In Our Faces

By Donald Joy / 4 June 2014

It’s heinous enough that the criminal Obama has yet again flagrantly violated our nation’s laws, by illegally releasing the who’s who of the top-echelon Taliban cadre in the alleged “exchange” for the traitor and enemy collaborator Bowe Bergdahl.

Yet on top of that, Obama showcases and grandstands his overt Islamic Jihad in the Rose Garden before the cameras and microphones, grinning and embracing Bergdahl’s bearded Taliban-agent father, Robert, as the older Bergdahl recites, in Arabic, the Islamic war victory chant, and exults in the wholesale defeat of the United States–achieved, partly, by strategically sending his stealth rat son into and among the ranks of our armed forces, for the very purpose of defecting and eventually leveraging the release of Taliban commanders.

Contrary to the administration’s, and Bergdahl’s, false statements, Bergdahl was not “captured while lagging behind on patrol.” Nor did he “serve with honor and distinction,” as claimed by notorious Obama administration liar Susan Rice.

There is no question that the younger Bergdahl committed the crime (punishable by death) of desertion. Blatantly anti-American emails between Bergdahl and his father, discussing his desire to do so mere days and hours prior to his disappearance, prove it. The troops with whom he was deployed have gone public with the slam-dunk case that he deserted, and the Pentagon even acknowledged it as far back as 2010. Furthermore, irate members of the intelligence community are coming forward and describing that our government’s secret file on Bergdahl (officially sealed until 2019) confirms that Bergdahl joined the Taliban as a sympathizer and collaborator.

So why has the the Army been awarding Private Bergdahl scheduled promotions to Sergeant and Staff Sergeant in absentia, when it is plain and clear that he went AWOL of his own choice, and apparent that he helped the enemy to kill his former fellow troops? Too many of us know the disturbing answer: Obama has purged our military of patriotic leaders, and has achieved an anti-American coup throughout the Department of Defense and all levels of government administration.

Bergdahl’s former unit members have described how, prior to Bergdahl abandoning his post, he went to lengths to obtain information and understanding of the terrain layouts and hidden “avenue of approach” vulnerabilities surrounding his unit’s base of operations, making topographical studies and range maps beyond that normally required and sought by someone merely adhering to his duties as a sentry and soldier. Bergdahl gave every indication to his platoonmates that he was planning to go outside the wire, to “go native,” and seek a life among the region’s inhabitants. He was reported to have specifically sought out the local Taliban, to replace his U.S. Army company as his new comrades-in-arms, adhering to them.

Later, after Bergdahl went AWOL, the base was successfully attacked by Taliban forces exploiting those very same hidden vulnerabilities, and our troops were exposed to far more enemy action and suffered numerous more casualties as a direct result of Bergdahl’s defection–especially the massive searching for him that was ordered by the higher-ups, and the general heightening of activity in that area of operations.

Instead of being a triumphant Trojan trophy in Obama’s engineering of the defeat of America, the traitor bastard Bergdahl should have been left to die among his new friends under whatever conditions, and the top Taliban detainees at GITMO should have been executed by firing squad long ago for their role in harboring Osama Bin Laden and the planners/hijackers of September 11th, 2001.

Mere impeachment and removal from office is not nearly enough. Barack Hussein Obama (along with Taliban operative Robert Bergdahl, with his campaign of jihad Tweets) should also be tried, convicted, and given the penalty for high treason against the United States. Quote me on that.

“Anybody here believe the bullshit line about Bergdahl no longer being able to speak engrish?”
—————– IndenturedServant

Losing the ability to speak one’s Native Language is called language attrition.

Studies have shown that even children in their teens can lose the ability to speak their native language … if they never use it again. My mother spoke German and Serbian equally fluently until her early teens, then once in Austria she never spoke Serbian again, and today she wouldn’t even know how to say “How are you.”

I don’t know of any cases where adults lose access to their native language — (not counting brain injury, disease, etc.). By adulthood primary language is deeply rooted in long-term memory. So, Bergdahl, imho, is full of shit.

Five Talibans for one mentally ill kid- the fact that Bergdahl tried to hang his humanitarian ideals around the neck of an enforcer of the empire’s job is proof positive he is one mentally confused soul – when we could have gotten a true blue dedicated enforcer of empire for generous contribution of federal reserve fiats to the proper peso driven commandante’ . …just more proof that Empire of blood knows not a damn about horse trading.
