Most Republicans in
the Senate and one Democrat
have rejected a resolution
that would have reined in
President Trump's
war powers against Iran
without permission from Congress.
A House vote is expected today,
and the resolution faces
an uphill climb there as well.
Joining us now is Republican
Congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio.
He serves on the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
and is an Army veteran.
We should note.
Congressman, nice to have you on.
So our understanding is you're planning
to break with
most of your party
and vote for this war Powers Resolution.
Explain why.
Well, look,
the Constitution is very clear
that wars of choice,
where it's not repelling an imminent,
threat to the United States,
are declared.
They're declared
by article one,
section eight, by Congress.
And of course, article
two says, of course,
the president is the commander in chief.
He executes any war.
That is declared.
And he has a
clear path
to act in defense of the United States.
So if it was to repel an imminent threat,
of course he should be able to do that.
And that's where you get,
you know, Senator
Tom cotton
trying to say, well, it's
been imminent for 47 years.
I don't think that's what
those words mean.
And right now,
the meaning of the word,
Republicans are struggling with is
what is a war.
It's about as laughable
as when Democrats struggle
with what is a woman.
Well, on the waterfront.
Let's talk about that.
I want to play,
how some members of your own party
have described what's going on with Iran.
Let's listen.
Then we may have casualties.
That often happens in war.
We're doing very well on,
on the war front.
We set the terms of this war
from start to finish.
9000 Americans
have been able to leave the region
since the start of this war.
Nobody should classify. This is war.
It is combat operations.
I wouldn't call this a war
as much as I call a conflict.
That should be very short and sweet.
I don't know
if this is technically a war.
We have declared war.
So if we haven't declared war, then
I don't see that.
The president
asked us to declare war yet.
But they have declared war on us.
Do you consider it a war?
It's a significant military operation.
Strategic strikes are not war.
They have declared war on us.
I don't believe in the semantics.
We've talked about the language
this morning. We're not at war right now.
We're four days in to a very specific,
clear mission.
