PoliGu Questionnaire

Military Involvement

Did you support or oppose the use of military force in Libya?

SUPPORT COALITION

 

War Powers Act

The War Powers Act allows the President 60 days to respond to threats and then report to Congress. At the end of those 60 days, President Obama claimed that since only drones were being used in military actions, no US soldier was in danger and he was not required to seek a declaration of war. Is President Obama's assertion accurate?

NO, FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION EXCEPT EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
 

UN Security Council

In responding to the purpose of military action in Libya, President Obama stated that the Ghaddafi regime represented a threat to the authority of the UN Security council and had to be addressed. In your opinion, is this assertion consistent with the proper use of military force?

YES, ACTIONS IN RESPONSE TO THREATS TO THE US OR ALLIES AS A UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBER ARE PROPER
