Robert Menendez actually said...

"Clearly, there is a need to define exactly what would be allowed."

"The resolution that we have proposed would give the President a clear mandate to prosecute the armed component of this conflict against Daesh."

"If, in fact, your campaign as presently designed needs to morph, change, to the realities of what is happening, do you believe the authorization will allow you to do that?"

"What it did not do, and what I think Democrats are not willing to do, is to give this or any other President an open-ended authorization for war, a blank check."
