House votes show Libya Obama campaign has little support

In a vote of 268-145, the House of representatives passed a bill giving the administration of the President of two weeks to hand over documents on the decision to Obama to request the participation of the United States.UU. in Libya operation of NATO. Introduced by House Speaker John Boehner (r-Ohio), the measure also prohibits the American ground forces in Libya. Representative Dennis Kunich (D-Ohio) proposed competitor that failed in the 148-265 vote would end any involvement of the United States.UU. in Libya within 15 days. The votes passed the discomfort of the legislators of the Congress with the participation of the country in three wars. Both Bills involve a belief exists claiming that Obama not has been able to consult properly Congress before ordering air strikes Libya. The draft law approved by Parliament specified that the Mission of Libya of Obama was never authorized by Congress, threatening a suspension of the Congress of the funds of military operation must be Obama ignore the current request. "This resolution puts the President on notice." You have the opportunity to correct the situation, and if not, Congress will exercise its constitutional authority and do well, "warned Boehner."
While the Senate will reject the proposal, Boehner offered the proposal as a competitor for votes that would have given the project of Kunich, fearing the implementation would cause Obama be in conflict with the 1973 war powers Act. House armed forces Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R - California) says, "The Boehner does not believe that we must strike the President on foreign policy." But they are so frustrated with the President, with the Administration, the people who want to see something []. "They are really upset with the fact that the House white does not give us any hand in hand".
