John Kerry actually said...

"I would make the point, Senator Kerry, that many people would argue that the President could do, anyway, some of the things that are listed in here as exemptions;"

"Mr. President, you must consult."

"This is not a legislative committee. You're not authorizing money. You are consulting with the President--that's your sole purpose--on the question of going to war."

"The simple solution to this problem would be for the President to honor the Constitution and seek the prior approval of Congress."
