Direct question on bombing Iran’s nuke plants. Fred said he’d want Congressional approval first. In contrast Rudy said that would be ideal but if it’s an immediate concern he’d act to protect america’s security first.
>> Fred said he’d want Congressional approval first.
That’s not what I heard. As I recall his answer, the first thing he said was that he would *not* surrender the rights and perogatives of the executive branch (constitutional issue).
The second thing he said was (and I know I’m paraphrasing), all things being equal, it was better that Congress approve than not approve.
I know for a fact that he did not say he would need to ask Harry and Nancy for permission. That’s a bit of hyperbole, no?
