Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before getting to my questions, I just want to talk briefly about President Trump [has decided] to basically drag America into another war in the Middle East without congressional approval. The Constitution is very clear for the reason for congressional approval. If you look at the debate during the Constitutional Convention, our founders were very clear that having unconditional power for a president to go into war was a power too great. (01:43)
