Marco Rubio on War Powers Resolution Amid the Iran War: ‘Congress Votes on Those, They Can If They Want’

‘Every other president has found the war powers act to be unconstitutional, nonetheless we notified the gang of eight’

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: “I mean, Congress votes on those. They can if they want. There’s mechanisms for it. We’ve complied with the War Powers Act even though we believe it’s unconstitutional, as has every other administration. Every other president has found the War Powers Act to be unconstitutional. Nonetheless, we notified Gang of Eight, which was an appropriate mechanism by which to notify Congress. We sent the notification within 48 hours, the way the law requires. I’m here today to have, I don’t know, my 6th or 7th briefing before the entirety of the House and Senate, which is far more than I ever got from any administration, the time that I was here, certainly when I was a member of the Gang of Eight.”
