Timmy Kaine just told us the President DID need approval. Which is it? Or are you both just guessing?
Van Hollen was telling Kaine to get back onboard with the party line.
Nobody knows. This is truly one of those expediency arguments and whoever’s ‘side’ is in the WH says it’s OK and the other side says it’s not.
It’s been insane since Korea when it was no longer necessary to declare war. They there is the War Powers Act.
This is something that will never be fully litigated as both sides want the power.
