Obama drives US Teamsters jobs to Mexico

[Gistok]

President Obama set up this deal with the Mexican President in March to override Congress as if it weren't there just like with his war on Libya and overruled Congress with an executive order. Such is "democracy' in Amerika to reference another thread.

Odd that you bring up a war in Libya, totally unrelated to this thread... but since you did.... didn't know we had any ground troops there.... Last time I checked Congress has only ever declared war 5 times in the last 236 years.... 1812, Mexican War, Spanish-American War, WWI and WWII.

Although Congress established some "pseudo-declaration" laws regarding the post Vietnam era... I don't recall any declarations in invading Granada or bombing Libya both initiated by President Reagan.... seems that Obama is following the precedent set by other presidents... one would have thought that Congress would have closed those loopholes by now.... apparently they're not as outraged by it as you are....
