Troop Resolution |
|
A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that no action should be taken to undermine the safety of the Armed Forces of the United States or impact their ability to complete their assigned or future missions. Hatch is concerned about some language in the resolution which is Constitutionally shaky. The resolution's preamble states, “Under the Constitution, the President and Congress have shared responsibilities for decisions on the use of the Armed Forces of the United States, including their mission, and for supporting the Armed Forces, especially during wartime.”
The phrase “shared responsibilities” raises important separation of powers questions.
