1/10/20 Robert Naiman on the new War Powers Resolutions

Scott talks to Robert Naiman about the efforts in congress and the senate
to oppose the war in Yemen and stymie any escalation in a conflict with
Iran. Naiman is optimistic that a concurrent resolution against the war in
Yemen, which Trump cannot veto, will have enough support to make it through
congress. Republicans and many in the media maintain that a concurrent
resolution is merely symbolic, with no power to bind the president. But
Naiman assures us that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 specifically cites
a concurrent resolution as the means by which congress can end an
unauthorized war. Those who deny this, he says, are living in their own
fantasy.
