Response to WMD attack - sarin, warrants response as outlined in treaty we signed. no Congressional action needed in this instance.https://twitter.com/susanferrechio/status/850302968712900609 …
That will certainly be the viewpoint of some lawmakers...though as you know this debate has gone round and round in Congress
-

if it extends to direct conflict with russian, then yes, congressional action necessary. but treaty we signed obligated us to act.

What do you make of McCain telling
@mkraju yesterday that an AUMF would be needed if for a Syrian air strike? He didn't repeat that later. -
yeah, my guess is if McCain faced this situation and were president, he would have acted as well. Sarin use can't be tolerated.
-
Probably, on AUMF, a lot depends now on whether this escalates.
-
agreed. if it escalates, Congress will need to be brought in. if a one-off message sent, nothing further needed.
