Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 9, 2020
Tweet - "Good to see the House pass a War Powers Resolution today with bipartisan support to keep Pres. Trump from starting a war all on his own. The Senate must do the same & pass my resolution with @timkaine. Congress alone has the Constitutional power to decide whether to declare war."
