<div> Thanks, John, for this. <br>
<br>
<br>
Zoe may be officially undecided, but she signed two
different letters reminding Obama that he does NOT have the
authority to attack Syria without explicit authorization from
Congress. One of these letters states essentially that the
decision to use force in Libya was unconstitutional. Reading
between the lines, this suggests to me (and I hope to Obama) that
if he goes into Syria and it turns into a mess (which it most
likely will), he could convince enough Democrats to join with most
Republicans to approve articles of Impeachment in the House and
convict in the Senate; see "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://lofgren.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825:zoe-on-the-crisis-in-syria-the-us-constitution-and-the-war-powers-resolution&catid=41:of-note-content&Itemid=160" target="_blank">http://lofgren.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825:zoe-on-the-crisis-in-syria-the-us-constitution-and-the-war-powers-resolution&catid=41:of-note-content&Itemid=160</a>".
<br>
<br>
<br>
I agree that protesting and lobbying Zoe and other members
of the House and Senate is wise. Boxer and Feinstein have both
stated support for intervention. A recent poll indicated 56%
opposed, 19% for with 25% undecided (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/03/us-syria-crisis-usa-idUSBRE97T0NB20130903" target="_blank">http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/03/us-syria-crisis-usa-idUSBRE97T0NB20130903</a>).
Boxer and Feinstein should know that if US involvement in Syria
produces seriously negative results, it could be trouble for
them. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>
Spencer <br>
