Cornyn Calls for New Authorization of Force Following Airstrikes in Syria

Press Release

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after the President's remarks on military operations in Syria:

"While I support taking immediate action to address this serious threat and stand with our men and women in uniform, the potential consequences of any missteps are grave and the stakes too high for the President to go it alone with a "pen and phone' mentality.

"As the President involves the nation deeper in what could be a prolonged military campaign, he should seek a new Congressional authorization for the use of military force without delay."
