Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) asserted this week that the Senate rejected his bid to “reaffirm the Constitution” regarding declarations of war.

Paul proposed an amendment in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), that would emphasize that only Congress can declare war under the Constitution.
