And the Constitution says you are not at war unless Congress votes to go to war. And the President is calling this a war over and over again. We can't spend money on childcare and Medicaid and Medicare because of all the wars we're fighting. You are not allowed to go to war without a vote of Congress. The President wants to end run Congress and do it on his own, punishing the American, you know, military and our economy on his own. (04:02–04:07)
