1. There has been a bipartisan vote in the House. There has been no vote in
the Senate.
2. The Senate has different tools than the House. For example: a Joint
Resolution of Disapproval pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976
is privileged in the Senate, not in the House. A human rights report demand
pursuant to Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act is privileged in the
Senate, not in the House. A *joint* War Powers Resolution is privileged in
the Senate, not in the House.
3. We have the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a Validator. How
often is that true? It's like a meteor shower that comes to visit us once
every seven years. Let's make the most of it.
