he quotes angus king and his piece. congress does have a responsibility to weigh in when it comes to military forces. the senator noting that though the constitution makes the president the commander-in-chief, it vests responsibility for declaring war with congress. for that reason, it's important not to give the president carte blanche, but rather to congress be reasonably specific about the action it is authorizing. we go to milton, waiting on our line for democrats. caller: i think that the president has to have approval from congress. i agree that before there was added to aa 5% tax war powers act, every time he is in a situation like this, he can do that if he thinks he should do it. that was never approved by congress but we should go back and look at that. keep takingt to your calls. 15 minutes left in this segment of the washington journal and we will continue to talk about u.s. efforts in the second half of today's show as well. a few headlines from around the country. post, to this washington clinton focuses i

joining me is angus king, appreciate you joining me. the senate is set to vote on the measure that will give president obama the authority to arm and equip the syrian opposition forces. how will you vote, yes or no? >> i will vote yes. it's part of the strategy. mike rogers put it very well. it's not the whole deal by any means, but i think it's part of the strategy. i also think we need to be talking when we come back after the elections about a broader authorization for the president to place limits on his unilateral authority. that's an important responsibility. i think the train and equip vote will be positive. then it's all about coalition building and building the credibility of the government in baghdad. >> let me pick up on that point. you think congress should have a vote about whether or not president obama should expand air strikes and congress is not prepared to do that until after the elections. isn't it too late? what are you prepared to do to make sure congress has a vote and a voice in this? >> i have been making myself

joining me now, senator angus king, independent from maine. senator, do you agree with the white house that they have the authority to strike? it appears even inside syria without congressional authorization? >> well, i think you put your finger on the real question is i don't know yet what they're planning to do. and that's really the key to the answer to the question of what kind of authority. if it's a continuation of air strikes within iraq to defend americans, to prevent a humanitarian crisis, that's one thing. probably do have the authority for that. if you're talking about striking in syria, which, by the way, if you're going to degrade and destroy isis, you almost have to, that's a whole different deal. and i tend to agree with the congressman that you quoted that it's too easy for congress to stand on the sidelines and say, you know, go ahead, mr. president, without voting, without taking a position, and then criticizing either way afterwards. we're pretty good at second guessing around here. i think there's a constitutional responsib

we had senator angus king on earlier in the show and he said the american public's been schizophrenic want the president to be strong but they also don't want another ground war. do you think there's squits phrenia here? >> i watched your interview of senator king and he's exactly right. we want two things, kick some isis butt and we don't want another war so i think what you do here seriously and this is mission against interests because i am a political hack, you set the politics aside, develop the best strategy you can and if you take out that gaffe the president had last week i think he outlined a strategy, the heart of it is this. >> what is it? >> internationalize the confl t conflict. john kerry wrote a ln op-ed in e "new york times" in addressing this. the u.s. military can invade, conquer and occupy and do a great job but as soon as we leave and we will, we'll be back to the conditions beforehand so you have to have the regional players and you've got to have the sunni arabs in that region and shiite issues. >> paul, when the public is schizophrenic, isn't that, doesn't that

we want to bring in angus king of maine. he's joining us now live. senator, i appreciate your time. right off the bat, do you believe the president needs a war authorization vote to broaden strikes in iraq or to begin them in syria? >> it depends entirely on what his real plan is. i think if he goes into syria, that's a different story. a lot depends on what the duration, what the plans are. whether they go beyond air strikes. i think we have to hear from the president starting this afternoon with the leadership and when he talks to the country. i suspect the president will not ask anything of congress. that still leaves the question of whether we ourselves should be debating this. i'm not comfortable with congress sitting back and criticizing and second guessing. particularly if the president is proposing a wider use of force than what's been gone so far. >> so let's get a sengs of where you stand as a member of congress. do you support air strikes? >> well, the second part you said is most important. we have to define the mission. that's one of the things i want to hear from the p
