Transcripts For CSPAN2 Cristina Marcos 20240713

Was expecting to vote on this war powers resolution to limit trumps actions and that iran without authorization. And so this morning, today is really been a whirlwind on capitol hill. Because this morning democrats had a caucus meeting after these strikes that i run carried out last night on those two u. S. Bases in iraq, had taken place, and there was some question of whether the democrats is still a threat this. But they talk with this morning if anything these strikes had strengthen their resolve to go forward with the work powers resolution because congress has been exceeding its war making powers for years now. And this was an opportunity to take that back. And bear in mind the obama administration, and others were relying on authorizations of force that were passed in one and 2002 for a lot of the recent military action in the middle east. And so finally, this afternoon after they had received a briefing from the officials this vote will take place on thursday. You pointed out in when your tweets that the announcement firms policy came just 30 minutes before that the progression all caucus head held a news conference. Was Speaker Pelosi getting pressure from the more liberal side . Yet she was. They were been pushing to vote on two other bills besides its war powers resolution. One is a bill from congressman barbara way that would end the 2002 authorization of military force that led to the iraq war. That administration has been using that as the justification for these strikes. Secondly they wanted to vote on another bill that would prohibit funding for u. S. Hostilities against in or against iran. So these two bills in addition to the war powers resolution, but they were the only ones today the house and may take action on those bills. She did not offer any specific time frames for that. Will continue to push for these bills after the house votes on this war powers resolution tomorrow. We have seen a number of house members react to the Briefing Held today by Administration Officials on that Iranian Missile strike. Where do most members stand, republican and democrat on this idea of a war powers resolution . We are mostly seeing this fallen party line. Democrat after democrat came up out of the briefing all saying that they were not convinced there was an in an eminent does threat before they carried out this airstrike that killed the top general. The republicans were standing behind the president in saying they believe congress should stand behind the president while he is carrying out this agenda against iran. So we are expecting most if not all of them to vote against this war powers resolution tomorrow. However in the senate, there are a couple of senators michael lee and rand paul, they are both on the libertarian side of things, they both came out of the briefing actually said they were inclined to sign onto a similar war powers measure from senator kaine over the senate. So there may be an couple are some defections in the senate, but at the moment we are not expecting that at the house. You point out that authorization for military force use goes back to 2002 but regular periodic efforts have been made to end that, to update that, to change that. They all failed, what is the probe knocks to this time around . The house actually passes annual Defense Authorization over the summer and it did include a revision by barbara lee was repealed in 2002. But it was not included in the final version that was a compromise between the house and the senates that President Trump signed into law. So it can have support in the house, the issue is it wouldnt be able to pass in the senate. Christina marcos is on the hill for the hill. She is that twitter thanks for the update.
