In an interview on CNN, Ro Khanna, as he made his case, stressed his support for Biden even as he accused him of shredding the Constitution.
Some may claim that Biden’s action doesn’t actually violate the Constitution or the War Powers Resolution. This is refuted by former Congressman Justin Amash: “If President Biden had enough time to form a multinational coalition to plan and conduct strikes in Yemen, then he had enough time to seek and obtain an authorization from Congress as our Constitution requires. Without this authorization, any nondefensive military action is unconstitutional and unlawful. And we know from the White House’s own statement that the US strikes recently launched were nondefensive. The strikes were warned about well in advance and intended to deter, not to stop an incoming attack.”
바이든의 안사할라에 대한 공격은..의회의 허가 없이 어떤 비 방어적인 군사적 행동을 할수 없다는 헌법에 위반한 행위이고 불법 이다....는 것입니다.
While none of the sitting Representatives have said the I-word, one person who has is Bruce Fein, who wrote the piece.
Fein notes that Biden vehemently threatened to impeach George W. Bush if he attacked Iran without Congressional authorization. Decensored News found the videos:

FLASHBACK: Biden says he’ll impeach Bush if he bombs Iran without congressional approval “I got a group of constitutional scholars together to write a piece that I'm going to deliver to the whole US Senate...” “The President HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY...” From Dec 2007:

And, as others have noted, Biden said much the same regarding Trump:
Joe Biden
Let's be clear: Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval. A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people.
우리들도 우리가 지지햇던 권력이 집권을 하는 꼴도 보앗고,..
그들의 말들이 집권이전과 어떻게 바뀌는지 이미 여러차레 격겨 보앗습니다..
다른소리 자신도 지지햇던 세력이 권력이 되자 여당의 논리로 바뀐것을 느꼇고
경우를 바꿔 생각해 보라는 조상들의 말을 절감 햇지요.
하지만...
바뀔 것이 잇고...바뀌질 말아야 할 것은 분명하게 잇습니다.
노무현이 타결한 한미 fta가 노무현이 집권 할 때는 ..나라의 100년 먹걸이를 해결 하는 위대한 결단이 되엇다가
이명박이 권력이 되자 하루 아침에 나라의 경제주권을 팔아 먹은 제2의 을사늑약으로 바꿔 버리는 것 따윈...아무리 위치와 진영의 변화를 감안 한다 하더라도....아닌 것이지요.
이런 어처 구니 없는 변신들이 거듭 거듭 거듭 되면서....사회에서 신뢰가 사라져 버렷습니다..
그 어떤 옳바른 주의 주장이더라도 그것이 가치나 도덕 양심에 기인한 것이 아니고 단지 진영싸움을 위해 만들어진 것이다는 것을 먼저 인식하게 되고, 이런 주의 주장은 언제든지 바뀐다는 것을 너무 너무 너무 이골나게 보고 격겨 나온 결론은 ...
야 이 씨 발 놈 들 라 ..........라는 욕설 말고는 없습니다.
누가 어떤 정의로운 주장을 하더라도 꼭 같은 주장을 반대편이 씨불린것을 너무 쉽게 찾아내어 빈정거릴 수 잇는 정치............사회...........사람...
다른소린 ...이런 모든것이 지긋 지긋 합니다..
One thing about impeachment is that it’s a lot like invoking the Genocide Convention, you just need one party to ring that bell and change the conversation.
One member of Congress can introduce a very simple impeachment resolution.
Said Prof. Francis Boyle: “Impeachment is effectively a check given to each and every member of Congress against a president who is violating the law.”
Boyle was legal adviser to Rep. Henry B. González and wrote the first draft of the González Impeachment Resolution in 1991. George H. W. Bush would later write in his memoirs about his fear of impeachment — that if the Gulf War “drags out, not only will I take the blame, but I will probably have impeachment proceedings filed against me.”
In 2017, Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor, and foreign policy speechwriter, told Politico that President Obama feared impeachment if he targeted the Syrian government.
The war powers resolution was introduced by Rep. Paul Findley, a reform-minded Republican(공화당 의원이라 하여 조금도 이상 한 것이 아닙니다....여러분들이 알고 잇는 민주당-진보 공화당-보수 라는 인식은 실제와 참 많이 다릅니다.....) who was driven from Congress by AIPAC and its ilk.
Said Boyle, who worked with Findley: “The issues he tried to tackle were central to trying to preserve the rule of law and ensuring that the U.S. not use force illegally. He wanted the U.S. to be the ‘Land of the Free and Home of the Brave,’ not relentlessly pursuing murderous wars that ultimately make our own citizens less safe.”
While only one member of Congress is needed to introduce an impeachment resolution, what would be remarkable is if it were two. A Democrat and a Republican, to make impeachment not about the endless political circus, but an actual tool of actual law so the US can civilize itself.
The US professes to be a nation of laws, not of men.
(미국인들의 이런 푸념과 한탄은 한국인들과 조금도 다를것이 없습니다.
미국이 민주주의 나라??.....
물론 민주주의를 어떻게 정의 하느냐에 따라 다르겟지만, 미국의 체체가 우리가 감각적으로 생각하는 그런 민주주의 체제는 아닙니다..
오히려 중국이 훨씬 더 민주적이라 말 할 수 잇습니다)
Last week, South Africa stood up for the rule of law globally.
Were any members of Congress paying attention?
