Congressional Vote
to Reassert Its Constitutional Power Opens Way for Obama’s Impeachment, New Just
Financial Order
July 28, 2014
(EIRNS)—With its overwhelming vote on July 25 to reassert the unique
Constitutional power of Congress, not the President, to make decisions on
whether the nation should go to war, the U.S. Congress has delivered a decisive
repudiation of British puppet President Barack Obama. The historic vote of 370
to 40 on House Concurrent Resolution 105 simply stated that
"the
president shall not deploy or maintain United States Armed Forces in a
sustained combat role in Iraq without specific statutory authorization for
such use."
The
resounding bipartisan vote was taken after an hour-long debate, in which lead
sponsors Reps. James McGovern (D-Mass), Walter Jones (R-North Carolina), and
Barbara Lee (D-Calif), among others, stressed its significance as a return to a
Constitutional principle which has been consistently violated by Presidents from
both parties—both as enshrined in Article I, Section 8, and as specified in the
enabling legislation known as the War Powers Act, which HConRes 105 specifically
cites.
The situation
is now ripe for Congress to reassert its Constitutional responsibility in other
crucial areas, including the economy, by taking immediate action to reinstate
Glass-Steagall, and the American System of economics as a whole, as has been
demanded by Lyndon LaRouche in his "Four New Laws to Save the U.S.A.
Now!"
It’s obvious
that there was a "complete breakdown" in the ability of Obama and his British
sponsors to control the situation, commented American statesman Lyndon LaRouche.
"They couldn’t hold it together."
But the way
is open, and it is urgent, for the Congress to assert its Constitutional
obligation to impeach Obama, and to carry out a "full sweep of an
honest system of financial management among nations," LaRouche continued. "The
world does not have to be run the way it has been run heretofore. The world can
be run on a fair basis for the improvement of the productive powers of labor in
every nation. That’s what we have to shoot for."
In fact, the
seed crystal for such a new international system has already been established
with the recent meeting of the BRICS countries in Brazil, which, in solidarity
with the nations of South America, has launched a project based on rejecting the
current usurious financial system, and replacing it with one providing credit
for high-technology development projects, based on increasing energy flux
density, development of thermonuclear fusion power, and cooperation among
nations.
Both the
passage of HConRes 105 and the launching of the BRICS project, which involves
nations representing nearly half of humanity, have been virtually blacked out of
the "mainstream" (read, sewer) international media, including in the U.S. “Why
has there been almost no media coverage of this?” LaRouche demanded in relation
to HConRes 105. “Why is Obama just sitting back there like a dumb louse and
taking the blows that are administered to him without response? Why is Obama
hiding? Why is he just taking the blows, and not even attempting to defend his
honor in terms of what he’s doing? Obama has been exposed as a
faker.”
Thus, the way
is wide open for Congress to act.
Senior
intelligence sources in Washington, DC have confirmed Mr. LaRouche’s evaluation
of the magnitude and portent of Obama’s defeat, reporting that there is now a
complete repudiation of Obama’s foreign and national security policies by
Republicans and Democrats alike. This has been building for some time, but it
finally exploded around the HCR 105 vote, as it well could on any issue
involving the national interest, as distinct from partisan politics. “There is
zero trust in the President,” the source
stated.
