Nearly everyone, from everyday citizens to politicians to celebrities, has been calling on President Obama to present a plan on dealing with ISIS. Add House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Darrell Issa to that list. Rep. Issa on Monday will introduce a joint resolution to require President Obama to present to Congress a strategic plan to defeat ISIS.
We cannot sit idly by as #ISIL continues to target and brutally murder Americans while threatening US interests and those of our Allies.

The responsibility and power to declare war and authorize commitment of US forces lies with Congress.

Consistent with the War Powers Resolution of 1973, this resolution would give POTUS a 120 day authorization to use force against #ISIL.

It's time for President @BarackObama to choose action over inaction, to execute a plan over rhetoric, and to protect American interests.
