Tim Kaine: “President Trump calls it a war, that he's doing an end run…”

“You can't be at war without a vote of Congress. And sometimes presidents try to say, well, this was a police action or it's too minimal to be war. This is a war. President Trump calls it a war, that he's doing an end run around Congress and the Constitution. The Constitution is important because it expresses a value. And what's important is the value.” (01:18–01:24)
