We need an Ambassador to Romania. This is a country that has great reason to feel imperiled by Russian aggression.

Many students there feel a second victimization when they go through the process of reporting and testifying to the abuse.

Whatever number you look at, if it's one in five, if it's one in six, if it's something else, what we know is that campus sexual assault is vastly underreported, and one of the main reasons is that there's not a good path for redress, OK?

Ms. Magsamen, do you have thoughts on the consequences of an AUMF repeal?

What are your thoughts on what a repeal of the AUMF would do for our capabilities and necessities inside Afghanistan over the next several years?

But clearly, inside that country, there is a crippling fear that the withdrawal of U.S. forces and the diminution of aid that you referenced in your initial testimony is going to have a pretty catastrophic effect on the economy.

NATO ought to have that discussion in advance so then when it happens, NATO has an answer ready.

But is article 5 still a sufficient protection for countries along Russia's border?

Aside from the significant defensive enhancement against any new 'Crimea,' this step would signal Moscow that the United States and NATO are going to defend alliance territory.

This should be a NATO-blessed deployment, and NATO states should provide a second battalion package in each country.

We are more likely to gain his attention if we stop 'self-deterring' ourselves.

Refusing direct assistance to a democratic government facing what is unquestionably aggression is a mistake.

I reject the notion that Russia was pushed into this by NATO's expansion east.

Many of these universities do not have, as their primary motivating factor the education of veterans, but they have profit as their motivation.

We have tuition waivers for veterans to attend our public universities.

We actually have an Executive order that the President released, No. 13607, in 2012 that would try to get our hands around this problem.

I would love to get rid of AUMF, but my concern is that we then live in a world in which the determination of imminent threat...

It would be nice to hear, very clearly, that your interpretation of the law is that you are always required, in that circumstance, to come to the Congress.

I would love a clear 'no' to that question.

We very much look forward to engaging with Congress as we seek to shape what that follow-on or future legal framework will look like.

Both Congress and the Executive need, and ought, to work together on matters of military force and war.

There are very specific powers given to Congress with respect to foreign affairs in Article 1: the power to declare war and the power to raise armies.

I think there is a reason why it is Article 2 that lays out the administration's powers, and not Article 1.

Thank you for your leadership on the breakthrough therapies provision in the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA).

I think you will hear a lot from us on our hope that you are able to speed up the pace of delivery system reform changes at HHS.
