"The ill-conceived potshots at presidential authorities in the wake of a strike that succeeded using the blunt instrument of a War Powers resolution is no substitute for answering these broader questions," McConnell said in a floor speech Tuesday."I will oppose my colleague's resolution and I would encourage our colleagues to do likewise."
