This is a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn into office, stealing from the American people, seizing spending power. What's illegal now? Dragging America into a war overseas. The president cannot run a military operation of this size, cannot invade a foreign country without coming to Congress first. without allowing the American public to weigh in. America doesn't want this war. Nobody asked for this because it has nothing to do with American national security. (00:37–00:44)
