The action was already authorized by Congress if it falls within the charter rules, and Libya does.
United Nations Participation Act, Title 22, Section 7, § 287d. Use of armed forces; limitations defines the legal use for the U.N. and related. U.N. Charter Article 41-43. Which allows for Article 42 forces to Not Require Congressional approval.
This isn't complex stuff... He doesn't need congressional approval for Libya, it's not a violation of the war powers act, and it's not grounds for impeachment, at all.
Anything the media says, truly.. anything, you need to look it up, it's almost always wrong, twisted or complete bullshit. This is no different, it's complete bullshit, from congress, to the media, to all the yuppies sucking it up.
