Dem. Rep. Blasts Obama’s War Powers Claim: ‘There Is a Thing Called the Constitution’

McDERMOTT: "It would be very reckless in my view for him to go in and start doing all this without getting a vote from the Congress. To say 'I already have the authority and I would be glad to have you guys come along' is really kind of condescending."
HAYES: "Congressman Garamendi, Do you feel that way?"
GARAMENDI: "I don’t think he has a choice but to have a vote. There is a thing called the Constitution. They said it is Congress who authorizes war. It’s very clear. We’re at war, and there’s also a thing called the War Powers Act, which he has actually initiated by sending the letter to the Congress."
