An after-the-fact resolution authorizing President Obama to use military force in Libya would likely fail to gain congressional support, the House Armed Services Committee chairman said Monday.
Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) told reporters he has no plans to shepherd a Libya resolution to the House floor.
During a closed-door briefing with senior administration officials last Wednesday, "there was quite a bit of opposition" to the Libya campaign, McKeon said.
