SENATE BILL: Senate Resolution on the 2014 Crimean Crisis (Amendment Vote)

Aye

I think it would be best to just say we do not "recognize the annexation of Crimea by Russia," which is what this is, and our position on this would be true even if there were no Budapest Memorandum, given the circumstances.  What we can say about the Budapest Memorandum is urge the Putin regime to abide by it - apart from that I'm not sure what practicality it has.

I'm not sure what is signified by urging the President to use all options available. It sounds like a grant of authority from the Senate, but it's not clearly so.  In any case we should be more specific, and we need to update the goal of such action to the current conditions.

Aye


Though I wonder if we do this doesn't it become an act rather than a resolution?
