The War Powers Act, isn't part of the Constitution, it's a resolution. So if it can over ride the constitution in your mind, then so can the "United Nations Participation Act" which is exactly the same thing, and what is being used in Libya. That's OUR act, our Congress voted it in, it's not the U.N. charter.
And Libya doesn't have to declare war on the UN, the UN is doing EXACTLY what it was setup to do with Libya. Read up... stop thinking you know, and read up.
I'm glad it says that... it's nice to use twisted information for your own benefit. Because the Constitution says, Congress makes those choices.... fully.
It's really that simple, either an Act is allowed to be amened by Congress or it's not, which is it? If not, we've been in violation for a long time... if so (which it is) the "United Nations Participation Act" does trump the war powers act, as it's preauthorize for use already, without need of approval.

You are so wrong I dont even know where to start.
The "United Nations Participation Act" 1947 The Wars Powers Resolution 1973 came after. The "United Nations Participation Act" does not need to be amended when a new law redefines the conditions that a president must go to congress. So no the UNPA does not trump the WPR. Obama would be the FIRST president to say it does. Right?
It is getting pathetic because you are wrong and not admitting it.
And of course we have been in violation for years.
