outboundSebagai penutup, saya ingin mengutip apa yang dikatakan oleh Bruce Ackerman dalam Majalah Foreign Policy (24 Maret 2011) tentang kebijakan Obama di Libya, In taking the country into a war with Libya, Barack Obama's administration is breaking new ground in its construction of an imperial presidency-an executive who increasingly acts independently of Congress at home and abroad. Obtaining a UN Security Council resolution has legitimated U.S. bombing raids under international law. outboundBut the UN Charter is not a substitute for the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress, not the president, the power "to declare war".
