“I respectfully urge the majority leader and all of my colleagues to turn their attention to this fateful decision when we return next week. A decision whether or not to vote a declaration of war is one that would be a very difficult vote, one that would be a career-shaping or career-shattering vote, but it would be one the Constitution requires of us, as do our fellow citizens who elected us. And it is one that only we can and must do, to vote on whether or not to declare war. I urge the Senate to turn its attention to that matter when it resumes next week.”
