Butterfield | B001251 | butterfield.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DC Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today issued the following statement on President Obama's decision to seek Congressional approval for military intervention in Syria: I'm deeply troubled by the Assad Regime's use of chemical weapons on innocent civilians in Syria. As a Member of Congress, authorizing the use of military force is one of our most important responsibilities and it should not be taken lightly. This situation deserves careful consideration and I look forward to a thorough debate in the Congress. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
