00:01CENTCOM has redirected 61 commercial vessels, disabled tankers.
00:05In other words, it doesn't appear that hostilities have ended.
00:10And so the question to you is whether or not the administration has considered or had intended
00:20to seek an authorization of use of military force from the Congress.
00:26Senator, our view is that should the president make the decision to recommence, that we would
00:31have all the authorities necessary to do so.
00:33Do you think that it would be helpful to the president if it was made clear that in fact
00:39the Congress did allow, did provide an AUMF?
00:46I think the president, our view is that he has all the authorities he needs under Article
00:50II to execute.
00:52Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
00:54Okay, here's where we are, the vote is about over, the secretary has to get with the president
01:03on the China trip.
01:05I'm going to ask Senator Murkowski to wrap up and thank you all for being here.
01:14Baldwin, Shaheen, and Kennedy, Baldwin, Shaheen, and Kennedy still have questions.
01:18Another question.
01:19Wrap up after.
01:21Bye-bye.
01:25Dad.
01:25All'dair.
01:32Yeah, obviously not a whole lot of time for second round, so we'll get through everybody.
01:39And Senator McCouskey, I appreciate your taking over.
