Their words and their votes are both below. What we have not established is which way it points: this position was classified against a proposition of the model's own, and until that is reconciled with the issue's own direction, reading the two together could invert the answer (gh #322).

The chamber has voted on these and we hold no words from them about any of them. Whether that is because they never spoke or because we have not searched, this page cannot tell — so it does not claim to. Each question is generated from the record.

Requiring congressional authorization for military force		3 "The Constitution gives Congress an essential role in decisions of war and peace, and the War Powers Act establishes a clear 60-day deadline for Congress to either authorize or end U.S. involvement in foreign hostilities. That deadline is not a suggestion; it is a requirement. ... Further military action against Iran must have a clear mission, achievable goals, and a defined strategy for bringing the conflict to a close. I voted to end the continuation of these military hostilities at this time until such a case is made." 2026-04-30 source I do not support committing additional U.S. forces or entering into any long-term military involvement in Venezuela or Greenland without specific congressional authorization. 2026-01-08 source position I do not support committing additional U.S. forces or entering into any long-term military involvement in Venezuela or Greenland without specific congressional authorization. 2026-01-08 · support source	none	12 of 12 119-2-207 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-07-23 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-192 · On the Motion to Proceed 2026-06-24 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-184 · On the Concurrent Resolution 2026-06-23 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-174 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-06-16 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-129 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-05-19 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-118 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-05-13 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-113 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-04-30 · cast Yea, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-88 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-04-22 · cast Nay, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-79 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-04-15 · cast Nay, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-69 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-03-24 · cast Nay, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-58 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-03-18 · cast Nay, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov 119-2-46 · On the Motion to Discharge 2026-03-04 · cast Nay, advancing cast Yea · senate.gov · congress.gov	nothing tested
