we get a comment from congressman meeks.what i would say that mike is right about is that it is the congress's responsibility to decide whether or not to authorize the use of military force, and i think that we are avoiding our duties if we are not saying that we want the president of the united states, whoever it is, to come back and get the authorization from congress. we are the people that represent the people from the united states of america, and it is within the constitution -- the constitution says it is our choice, not just the president's usely, to determine when we military force them should have a vote to do that. so haveforts to do fallen short -- not just with the trump administration, but the last few years of the obama administration. it does not seem at there is a lot of stomach for taking that up in congress. guest: as i said, the last few times it has been the republicans who have been in the majority. they should simply bring it up. suchdent obama asked for use and congress refused to take it up. and mr.
