POPSA MONARCHISTS VIEW OF PRESIDENTAL POWER Today, Biden serves as vice president to a commander in chief who has just committed the U.S. military to an action in Libya that was authorized by the U.N. Security Council but was never even so much as debated in the U.S. Congress let alone put to a vote. Nor has the president argued that the aim of the military action in Libya is to repel an imminent attack on the United States or rescue U.S. citizens. “The rationale for vesting the power to launch war in Congress was simple,” Biden said in a Senate speech delivered on July 30, 1998. “The Framers' views were dominated by their experience with the British King, who had unfettered power to start wars. Such powers the Framers were determined to deny the President.” Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution says: “The Congress shall have power … To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.”

POPSNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER-DOUBLE STANDARD 1998 Pub. L. 105-225, August 12, 1998, 112 Stat. 1258: The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals. In June 2007 (then) presidental candidate Barack Obama claimed the US is no longer a Christian nation. 2009 our president CANCELLED the 21st Annual National Dayof prayer ceremony at the White house under the excuse of 'not wanting to offend anyone". BUT on September 25, 2009, a national day of prayer, for Muslims was held on CAPITOL Hill, next to the White House where 50,000 muslims attended the prayer. Did anyon ask if we Christians were offended......overlooked, ignored.?????? http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com

POPSReid to Keep Senate in Session to Prevent Recess Appointments If only Reid would actually *require* Senators to stay "in session"!!!! A mere formality? "...unsavory recess appointments"??? To whom? They've been in gridlock-mode forever. So the Executive Branch is suppose to compromise and it be *even-steven*? The Administration gets a few, the Legislative Branch gets a few? Never before, I think. If they would do their job during the session, there wouldn't be a need for "recess" appointments; vote 'yes'/vote 'no'. End of problem.
