"Rand Paul Rand PaulRand Paul: Trump needs Congress to authorize military action in Syria Trump: Syria strike in 'vital national security interest' of US Lawmakers urge Trump to engage Congress on Syria MORE (R-Ky.) asserted Thursday night that President Trump needs congressional authorization for military action in Syria, after Trump ordered an airstrike in the country following a deadly chemical attack earlier this week."
'"The President needs congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution, and I call on him to come to Congress for a proper debate," Paul said. '
'Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) also called the strike "an act of war" on Twitter, saying that "Congress needs to come back into session & hold a debate. '
'Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) sided with Paul on Twitter, saying that Trump "can use military force in defense of US. But attacking #Assad regime requires congressional approval."'
'"Our prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make us safer, and Syria will be no different."'
