*S.Res. 39 – Sponsor: Robert Byrd (D-WV)
"A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate on the need for approval by the Congress before any offensive military action by the United States against another nation."
Introduced: January 24, 2007
Cosponsors (1): Bernard Sanders (I-VT)
Summary: S.Res. 39 reaffirms that although "the President, in an emergency, may act to defend the country and repel sudden attack," the Constitution grants Congress "the power to take the country from a state of peace to a state of war" and therefore "any offensive military action by the United States against another country shall occur only after the Congress has authorized such action."

Cosponsors: none
Summary: S.Con.Res. 13 states that military action against Iran does not fall within the President's 'Commander in Chief' powers under the Constitution.
