Wendy Sherman: “The Boehner resolution just grudgingly acquiesces to an imperial vision of the Presidency. The Kucinich resolution…”

On the recordJune 3, 2011
The Boehner resolution just grudgingly acquiesces to an imperial vision of the Presidency. The Kucinich resolution enforces the War Powers Act and starts us on the War Powers Act process. We owe it to our fighting men and women that when they risk their lives, they do so pursuant to our laws and our Constitution. And when they risk their lives for an extended period of time, they do so not because of the decision of one individual but, rather, because of the decision of the representatives of all of the American people.
