WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) today issued the following statement after voting against the war power resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s authority to respond to nuclear threats.
“This is a special situation. It involves nuclear weapons. In the time in which Congress would debate, the nuclear weapons could be deployed or moved and hidden. The executive branch remains under obligation to inform Congress of their actions, and this administration did so,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Americans want peace. President Trump accomplished that with the ceasefire.”
