Congress to Vote on Cutting Funding for Libya

The World

The House of Representatives is set to vote on a resolution to scale back the US military intervention in Libya. House Republicans contend that President Obama violated the War Powers Act, which limits the president’s ability to declare war without the consent of Congress.

We’re joined by Todd Zwillich, Takeaway Washington Correspondent and Ian Black, Middle East editor of The Guardian.
