President Obama said the US would stay in Libya for days. Two months later, however, the War Powers Act says America needs to go to war or get out of North Africa. Can Obama circumvent the Constitution or is the Commander in Chief breaking the own laws he promises to uphold on the campaign trail? RT's Lauren Lyster investigates.

1. Yes he violates it
No matter how much I hate the war in Iraq at least Bush received authorization for it.. Obama is breaking the law with this

If you read the constitution a little more strictly, then Bush attacking Afghanistan and Iraq was also illegal because the constitution doesnt give Congress any authority to right a law like the War Powers Act and if that is true then the President NEEDS a declaration of war to go to war..

How about some real news? How's Obama doing raising money for 2012? Sure is going to be good to have 4 more years of hope and change, isn't it?
