US Congress Says “No” to Obama Iraq Deployments

US Congress Says “No” to Obama Iraq Deployments

Posted by: Middle East Briefing in Article August 3 2014
On July 25, the US House of Representatives delivered a strong bipartisan warning to President Barack Obama. By a 370-40 vote, the House passed Concurrent Resolution 105, barring the President from ordering any combat operations in Iraq without formal prior Congressional authorization. Despite the recognized danger posed by the Islamic State, both to the government of Iraq and potentially to US personnel in Iraq, Congress refused to let Obama deploy military forces without the Congressional approval specified in the US Constitution.http://mebriefing.com/?p=932
