senator tim kaine among them. he put out a statement where he said the american people deserve to hear the administration's rationale for these strikes and its legal justification for acting without coming to congress. i understand that the white house put out -- the president put out a letter that it sent to speaker pelosi and the president pro tem explaining why he did what he did. is he going to do more? for instance, will he go to congress and pursue a new authorization for the use of military force? >> well, i think it's important, first, to note this was a proportionate response. this was the president using his article 2 authority to protect american resources, coalition resources and troops. this was a responsive action. and we notified -- we did notifications on the action before it happened. you saw the letter in which the president laid out his justification. but this was -- this sent a signal as you heard the president say. this sent a signal to iran that you can't act with impunity and he's going to p

a couple of your colleagues, senator tim kaine wants to hear what the legal justifications are. there's been a lot of senators concerned about any of this stuff in syria because there hasn't been authorization. what say you? >> my view is that the strikes that have been aimed against isis, specifically, are covered under previous authorizations. although i also plooef that we need, as a congress, to reign in some of those expansive authorities as senator kaine has proposed. then there are other set of interests that come into play with respect to self-defense. again. >> let me ask it a very quick way. do you think this falls underneath umf? >> the aumf in iraq does allow the united states to take actions. that is still on the books. this was an action taken in response to attacks by iranian malitia inside iraq. again, this could be -- this is a plur ri area which is why i agree with people like senator kaine who believe we really need to clarify the current state of the aumf. >> i think you put it well yourself. there's a lot of blurry lines. really appreciate you coming on toda

senator tim kaine, your colleague is looking at censure as a way of sanctions trump, you're a lawyer, it's a little wonky, are you on board with that? >> well, you mentioned tim kaine and apropos of one of our earlier conversation, he's one of the more pastoral and righteous soul. >> it helps to have been a missionary for a while. >> yes. and i'd love to look to him about-- because we struggle. a lot of times in the senate where you're struggling with issue, what is the morally right thing to do? and i think a lot of us are fearing now that 20 years from now, 25 years, there might come along another president with authoritarian tendencies who will not have learned anything from the trump chapter, but to be more successful in the attempt to undermine democratic processes, that we have right now send a bipartisan signal that what happened was awful and that the darker moment and to see apologists already trying to make nothing of it and to see a scenario where we failed to convict in impeachment and nothing happened is very distressing to me. so i think a trial is important, especially

mike: your colleague, senator tim kaine, has been talking about a renewed authorization for the use offorce. is it time for lawmakers in our remaining few seconds, sir, is it time for lawmakers to have that debate once again? >> i believe so. the authorized use of force was passed in the wake of 9/11, it's been almost 20 years. much has changed, i think, and tim has been one of the leaders in doing this. i think we should seriously look at it again and see if we have legislation that is more attuned to the present threats throughout the world. mike: senator jack reed of the great state of rhode island, thanks so much for your time, sir. >> thanks, mike. mike: a lot more coming up on "fox news sunday," chris wallace has an exclusive interview with florida senator rick scott at 2 p.m. eastern, top of the hour, right here on fox news. >>> a manhunt is underway in georgia as authorities search for one of the men suspected in the shooting of two police officers last night. everything we know so far after the break. ♪ we started with computers. we didn't stop at computers. we didn't stop at

>>a videotape, however democratic virginia senator tim kaine worries there won't be enough senators toe to convict trump in an impeachment trial, i'm very worried about going to this trial and having the punchline to be an being. trump acquitted again that's why he would rather censured the former president susan collins and i have come up with a very reasonable bipartisan approach. >>that would condemn donald trump that under the 14th amendment would bar him from ever running again, but kane says there's not enough bipartisan support for a censure either because republicans don't want to stop trump from running for office and democrats are set on an impeachment trial. >>in washington alexandra le mon. >>and coming tonight at 5.30 we'll hear from our political analyst on trump's a legal team arguing his speech was protected by the first amendment and that a senate conviction would therefore be it an unconstitutional be sure to tune in for that here on kron 4 news at 5. >>for your money now stocks were higher in afternoon trading today, but shares of shares were closely watched. >>and c
