Rand Paul actually said...

"The President would have unilateral authority to add additional countries--including the United States itself--to the list of countries where Congress is authorizing war."

"A President with one-third plus one in either House can wage war on any target at any time the President chooses to do so."

"I say, 'Well, that is one check, but that is not the'--we have a check on the initiation of war and then on the continuation through spending."

"There is no reason for Congress to risk it."
