US Army Captain processes for Obama war on Islamic State

                    

Washington - A captain of the US Army sued the president, Barack Obama, by being immersed in a war against the Islamic State (EI) in Iraq and Syria without the authorization of Congress, said on Thursday the American press .

Captain Nathan Michael Smith, intelligence officer in Kuwait, presented the process on Wednesday to a District of Columbia court, where is the American capital.

Smith argued that the mission against the jihadists, which is experiencing a greater American involvement, does not have the required authorization.

"To honor my oath (to enforce the Constitution) request to the courts to ask the president to obtain congressional authorization under the resolution of War Powers, to declare war on EI in Iraq and Syria," said the text process.

The war against the US EI is going on the air, but also on the ground in Iraq by sending military advisers, which in many cases work on the front lines of combat.

This week came the death of the third US military in the war on EI in Iraq.

Meanwhile, the US continues expanding the presence of members of the Special Operations in Iraq and Syria, a country where Washington tries to create moderate forces that move the jihadists.

The Obama administration is using the power of the Legislature gave the Executive to fight against the perpetrators of the attacks on 11 September 2001 against the United States, but critics believe that the White House is going beyond this mandate.

Obama called for a legal framework to be authorized in the war on EI, but Congress refused, despite allocate budgetary funds for these operations.
