9:21Now Playing"A California congressman said Wednesday he would introduce legislation authorizing President Barack Obama to use force against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria because he was tired of waiting for him to come up with a draft bill. The bill from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., aims to break the deadlock between Obama and Congress, who have sparred over who should craft the bill.
“More than five months after strikes began against [ISIS] in Syria and Iraq, Congress has yet to debate and take a vote on an authorization to wage war, in clear abdication of our constitutional duties,” Schiff, who represents a Los Angeles district, said in a statement. “Last month, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee took an important first step by debating and voting on a draft authorization -- it’s my hope that today's introduction of this bill can help jumpstart the process in the House so Congress gets off the sidelines. Congress needs to do its job and debate and vote on an authorization, so the troops we have fighting this war know that we, too, have done our duty.”
The legislation does not have the support of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, the highest-ranking military official. Dempsey said last week -- before Schiff said he would introduce the bill -- that any authorization to use military force should not include limits on time or geography."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur & John Iadarola (TYT University) break it down.
