Whatever the legal authority _is_ for these strikes on #Syria, the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) sure ain’t it. https://t.co/hYikirZjiW

Use of force by @realDonaldTrump against Syria is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. This is not self defense & no AUMF covers it. Use of chemical weapons is horrific. But our Constitution does not allow @POTUS to attack a country—which has not attacked the US—without Congressional approval. https://t.co/frC6XaizX5

You are a moron. War Powers Act of 1973 clearly allows a President 60 days to use military force until having to go in front of Congress. Every President has used this authority constitutionally over the past 40 years, including Obama where you stayed selectively silent. https://t.co/4aGlmfmAx1

.@tedlieu: truly an imbecile.

How you can serve in Congress without knowing anything about the US Constitution is the definition of Swamp Dweller.

What an embarrassment to his state and the nation. https://t.co/RpLeBZZRtA

Dear @SebGorka: Feel free to call me names. But I agree with many Dem & GOP Members, including @justinamash, that our Constitution doesn’t allow @POTUS to attack Syria w/o Congressional approval.

Oh, and unlike you, I passed my security clearance check & I wasn’t fired. https://t.co/nwNKIa9kGg
