HCON 107 IH
March 7, 2012
Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
- Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual
or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use
of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear
authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power
to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution
and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor
under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
