Rand Paul: ‘The Constitution Doesn’t Allow the President’ to Strike Syria ‘Without First Asking Congress’

‘I’ve been very clear that the Constitution doesn’t allow the president to do this without first asking Congress’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "The markets are reacting to a lot of things, foreign policy is one, I think the threat of a trade war is another, massive chronic deficit spending is another. Maybe more immediately to the threats of war, but I think there’s still a great deal of potential for hostilities. That’s what some call it when they don’t want to use the word 'War.' But yeah, I think something will happen in Syria. And I’ve been very clear that the Constitution doesn’t allow the President to do this without first asking Congress."
