Does the Congress or the UN authorise Obama the right to go to war.?

There’s a resolution calling for the impeachment of Obama,

over not seeking war authorisation from Congress.

If this true is Obama a traitor if he sided with the UN over the American people.

Update:

xpatinasia,

I'm Scottish & was just asking a question. Your response was insulting but half expected, as most sites these days are infiltrated by trolls. Whose aim is to get in first and like thugs intimidate others from responding....

Thanks everyone else..

Update 2:

tehabwa

just type in impeachment of Obama & you will find a ton of stuff. But your probably burring your head in the dirt while watching main stream new who will tell you nothing...

Update 3:

Windseeker_1

    Only Congress has the right to declare war.

    The UN is irrelevent.

    When George Bush started Operation Iraqi freedom Overthrowing the government of Saddam Hussein was already official policy of the United States and had been since 2009 when the Iraqi Freedom Act was passed and signed into law by Clinton.

    The "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq" was approved by Congress in October 2002.

    When Obama started bombing Libya he didn't bother getting Congressional approval and instead called it a "kinetic military action"

    You're talking about two different things here.

    In the Constitution, Congress is the body that has the power to declare war -- that provision has taken quite a beating over the years.

    In international law, either a country must be attacked, or the UN has to authorize some military action.

    It's absurd to say that Obama "sided with the UN OVER the American people."

    The fact that some wing-nut may have drafted an impeachment resolution means nothing -- IF it's true. I see you provide no credible source, or any source, for your claim.

    Congress has the power to cut funding and therefor cannot be overruled by the President making your claim false.

    Obama is looking out first and foremost for the well being of the American people. Dishonesty and lying are more akin to being a traitor to the Country. Which side of the isle lies again ?

    Actually, Congress has the duty to Declare War.

    That's why George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are Traitors to the USA.

    That's Also why those two and several others are considered War Criminals by the International Nations of the World.

    Of Course, Flag Spitting Rightie Cowards want to distract and divert attention through their Whining and Stupid Crying over non issues.

    They of course, are just dupes of FOX - the Foreign Owned Pied Piper for these Anti-American Cowards.
