President Barack Obama joined Vice President Joe Biden Sunday night at the Naval Observatory for a dinner Biden hosted for Republican senators, according to the White House.
Obama spent about an hour and a half meeting with the senators before returning to the White House, according to pool reports. In attendance were Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Susan Collins (R-ME), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Bob Corker (R-TN), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Deb Fischer (R-NE).
The Obama administration has been lobbying members of Congress since the president announced he would seek their approval for military action against Syria in response to a reported chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 in Damascus.
