BREAKING: 107 House members say Obama needs approval from Congress on Syria!! More than 100 lawmakers, including 18 Democrats, have signed a letter that says President Obama would violate the Constitution by striking Syria without first getting authorization from Congress. Good, I hope more people wake up. I hope more realize the constitution was created in a way to prevent one branch from having too much power. We have rules in this country and they must be followed. I hope everyone realizes that the constitution and bill of rights are important and must be respected always! Yeah some have issues with certain amendments but they are all valid and are there for our protection. EVERY SINGLE AMENDMENT. I think the most important of them... the second amendment. probably the most important few paragraphs you will ever read in your life. Read them, learn them and let no one take them away...
