Josh Hawley: under many threats from radical Islam & N Korea

"Josh Hawley is a constitutional lawyer who has fought for cases at the Supreme Court and won," said Ambassador John Bolton. "He'll take that same fight to the U.S. Senate, where I know he will vote and advocate for a stronger national security and an America-first foreign policy."

Austin Petersen: No foreign actions without Congress's okay

America first! No more nation-building. The United States should seek to protect and defend its security, its allies, and its national interests abroad, but any military actions taken must come with a proper debate and vote in Congress and comply with the War Powers Act. No president should have the power to unilaterally declare war. That's Congress' job, as per the Constitution.
