SUBJECT QUOTE
Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said he would vote for an authorization of war if Trump asked for it. But Cramer questioned whether the resolution passed during the Vietnam War era, as a way for Congress to claw back its power, was constitutional. 'Our founders created a really strong executive, like it or not,' Cramer said.
