New war authorization from Congress unveiled following Syria strikes

„For too long, Congress has given presidents a blank check to wage war. We‘ve let the 9/11 and Iraq War authorizations get stretched to justify wars against multiple terrorist groups in over a dozen countries, from Niger to the Philippines,“ Kaine said. „Our proposal finally repeals those authorizations and makes Congress do its job by weighing in on where, when and with who we are at war.“
