Via The Hill:
Two Senate Democrats are circulating an alternative resolution on military intervention in Syria that would give President Bashar Assad’s regime a 45-day window to avoid a strike if it signs a chemical weapons ban.
Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) have drafted the resolution after the Foreign Relations Committee earlier this week approved a separate proposal on a narrow vote, according to reports.
In addition to the ultimatum presented to Assad, the resolution would also require the president to present a “long term strategy” on Syria to prevent the use of chemical weapons.
Manchin came out against the resolution passed in committee earlier this week and hinted that he would be seeking an alternative.
