affairs committee in congress, what would you recommend to your colleagues and to the president to do if he, in fact, crosses that line? he, being putin. my committee would be the first committee that would have to deal with that because the president would have to come to my committee for the authorization of utilization of military force, aumf. and as far as i am concerned, and if you re asking me, we d have to stand up to the moment. we ve tried every diplomatic way possible to have a peaceful resolution. we ve given ways out. we ve had other leaders, whether they be from israel or france or germany go talk to putin to say, stop the violence. let s have a cease-fire. but there are certain things that i think breaks the line. we would have article 5 of the nato treaty invoked.
