          CONGRESS MUST REASSERT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise with grave concern for our Republic 
and the long-term safety of our people, our military, and U.S. assets, 
both domestically and abroad.
  For our Nation's President to launch military force on a foreign 
nation without Congressional approval--Article I, Section 8--is a clear 
violation of the most important legal document of our country.
  History brutally taught our country what asymmetrical warfare is 
after enduring 9/11 here at home.
  Congress must reassert our constitutional authority before the 
American people are dragged into a very endless war by those whose 
radical acts of retribution will not cease.
  This is a time to pay attention, to study history a little bit, and 
to abide by the Constitution of the United States.
