War powers: undeclared wars
What they say
His campaign says he would work to block wars begun by presidents without the consent of Congress and to bring service members home.
“As a U.S. Senator, I will fight to bring our men and women in uniform home, to block foolish wars declared by presidents without the consent of Congress, and to conserve our nation’s military strength for those rare occasions when our nation’s vital interests are truly at stake.”
In their own words, dated
“While members of Congress have been too busy campaigning for reelection to fulfill their constitutional duties, presidents have seized the power to make war.”
What the record shows
No like-for-like official action exists: his current public role is county attorney, not legislator.
