EXCERPT:

RASKIN: “Well, without saying what anybody should do in any particular situation, undoubtedly a violation of the war powers of Congress, the usurpation of the war powers of Congress would be an impeachable offense, would be a high crime and misdemeanor. I mean, you know, Israel said we’ve just — in what Israel did on its own, we set them back two or three years. So that’s not an emergency. Remember, the president can only assert the power to use military in a context in which there’s an imminent threat to us, and that clearly wasn’t there. So, we can add this to a very long list of things where the president has violated the spending power.”
