It was reported previously that Speaker of the House John Boehner issued a letter to Barack Obama regarding the few days he has left before the president is in violations of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

Now we see that a group of House members is taking the issue of Obama involving the U.S. military in a mission in Libya, to court.

A bipartisan group of House members announced on Wednesday that it is filing a lawsuit charging that President Obama made an illegal end-run around Congress when he approved U.S military action against Libya.

“With regard to the war in Libya, we believe that the law was violated. We have asked the courts to move to protect the American people from the results of these illegal policies,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who led the 10-member anti-war coalition with Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.).


This law suit will ask a judge to prohibit the White House from conducting a war without congressional approval.
