Patrick Ryan Democrat
“I want the House to pass this legislation. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president alone, the power to send our country to war.”
“Mr. Chair, truly, especially to my colleagues of both parties who have worn the uniform of this country, it is foundational and enshrined in our Constitution that it is this body that has say, not a single, unitary executive, to send us to war. This legislation is common sense and bipartisan. I urge my colleagues to support it.”
