A new US Senate draft resolution for
authorizing use of military force in Syria sets a 60-day
deadline, with one 30-day extension possible, while barring
ground forces.
The resolution was drafted by Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and
Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the chairman and ranking member of the
Foreign Relations Committee. The resolution needs 60 votes in the
Senate to overcome a filibuster by opponents.
The draft follows Tuesday’s hearing on Syria featuring testimony
from US Secretary of State John Kerry, Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey and Secretary of Defense Chuck
Hagel.
