When the president began this war several weeks ago, I was one of the very first people to speak out and say that we needed to Congress needed to step up and rein Donald Trump in. I would have voted in support of a war powers resolution that would have curbed the ability of the White House to wage this war indefinitely. I believe that they have launched a campaign without any clear objectives, any clear goals, any clear timeline, without making their case to the American people. (09:18–09:25)
