"I supported President Obama's decision to retaliate when Assad first used chemical weapons. The Foreign Relations Committee voted to authorize that action but only two Republican senators would publicly support it, and without congressional support, the President did not proceed."
"Pres. Trump's action again raises the constitutional question of his authority to unilaterally attack another nation without congressional approval. It is time for Congress and the American people to have that debate about military force in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen."
"This issue is only further complicated by the Administration's decimation of the State Department, as well as this President congratulating Vladimir Putin for his sham re-election and then confronting him for his role in the atrocities in Syria days later."
