Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after the Presidents remarks on military operations in Syria:
While I support taking immediate action to address this serious threat and stand with our men and women in uniform the potential consequences of any missteps are grave and the stakes too high for the President to go it alone with a pen and phone mentality.
As the President involves the nation deeper in what could be a prolonged military campaign he should seek a new Congressional authorization for the use of military force without delay."
Senator Cornyn serves on the Finance and Judiciary Committees. He serves as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committees Immigration Refugees and Border Security subcommittee. He served previously as Texas Attorney General Texas Supreme Court Justice and Bexar County District Judge.
