Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday argued the war powers resolution that's designed to serve as a check on a president's military actions was "unconstitutional," remarks that came just hours before the House was scheduled to vote on a similar measure.
"I have said for decades that I believe the War Powers Resolution is unconstitutional," Graham tweeted. "If you don't like what the Commander in Chief is doing -- cut off funding."
The House voted Thursday on the concurrent resolution, which are typically nonbinding. The War Powers Act of 1973, also known as the war powers resolution, has previously been invoked as a joint resolution.
Graham also argued that the Constitution explicitly gives the president, not Congress, the authority to conduct military operations.
Note: Where were Pelosi when Obama went and destroy Syria and Libya. Was there a change of regime orjust to start the endless civil wars in both countries. Just a thought.
