1. ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT U.S. MILITARY BASES IN IRAQ
Article XI
ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT U.S. MILITARY BASES IN IRAQ
In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional
oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability,
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional
duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed",
has violated an act of Congress that he himself signed into law by using public funds to construct
permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq.
On January 28, 2008, President George W. Bush signed into law the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (H.R. 4986). Noting that the Act "authorizes funding for the defense of the
United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy
programs," the president added the following "signing statement":
"Provisions of the Act, including sections 841, 846, 1079, and 1222, purport to impose requirements
that could inhibit the President's ability to carry out his constitutional obligations to take care that the
laws be faithfully executed, to protect national security, to supervise the executive branch, and to
execute his authority as Commander in Chief. The executive branch shall construe such provisions in a
manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President."
Section 1222 clearly prohibits the expenditure of money for the purpose of establishing permanent U.S.
military bases in Iraq. The construction of over $1 billion in U.S. military bases in Iraq, including
runways for aircraft, continues despite Congressional intent, as the Administration intends to force
upon the Iraqi government such terms which will assure the bases remain in Iraq.
