My Speech Ahead of the Senate's Vote on My War Powers Resolution:

Published | Video Starts at 00:36

My colleague said that we should put a resolution on the floor thanking the President. I have an idea from my Republican. Put a resolution on the floor declaring war against narco traffickers. Why haven't they done that? That's what the Constitution says they should do. They are so strong in their belief that we should be at war with narco traffickers. Why haven't they put a resolution before this body to say we should be at war with cartels and narco traffickers? (00:36–00:49)

CLAIM

Asserts that declaring war on narco traffickers requires a congressional resolution.
