Obama Requests War Powers, Ceasefire Begins in Ukraine

Washington Week with The Atlantic

About the Episode

President Obama has formally asked Congress for war powers to fight Islamic State militants, but his request is being met with resistance. Republicans think Obama's three-year proposal is too restrictive with limits on his power, while Democrats want a ban on ground troops. And in Ukraine, a ceasefire deal negotiated by European leaders takes effect this weekend.
