Kaine Calls For Debate On Use Of Force Against ISIS

The debate continues on War Powers and Congress. In light of the deadly attacks in Paris, U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Jeff Flake are again renewing their call for Congress to debate and vote on an Authorization for Use of Military Force against the Islamic State. 

The two have a bill on the floor now and Senator Kaine tells 88.9 WCVE it’s the only measure before the Senate that could GET Congress to authorize the war against ISIS/ISIL.

Senator Kaine says he and Senator Flake are slowly building support for the measure. The Foreign Relations Committee is trying to figure out how to build more wide-spread consensus on the bill.
