Corker: Congressional Committees Are Irrelevant
Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) states his reasons why he believes that the act created to reform the War Powers Act of 1973, the War Powers Consultation Act, could cause Congressional committees to become more irrelevant than they already are.
He worries that allowing the president to get his information from one source could render the Congressional committees useless because the president already has a group of advisers that give him the information necessary information to engage in war.
