Two senior U.S. Democratic senators said on Tuesday they believe that President Joe Biden should seek congressional authorization for the military action against Houthi targets in Yemen, with one lawmaker saying such legislation was being worked on. "The Constitution requires Congress to authorize acts of war. ... We swore an oath to follow the Constitution. If we believe this is a just military action and I do, then we should authorize it," Senator Chris Murphy, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Middle East subcommittee, said at a hearing looking at the military action. Senator Ben Cardin, who chairs the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also said the Biden administration should be seeking congressional authorization. (Reuters)
