READ: House Democrat Resolution On Syria Strike

Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., ranking member on the House Budget Committee, speaks about the budget at the 2013 Fiscal Summit in Washington, Tuesday, May 7, 2013.

Democratic Reps. Chris Van Hollen (MD) and Gerald Connolly (VA) proposed Tuesday a resolution authorizing a military strike in Syria.

The resolution shares some similiarities — strict time limit for U.S. involvement (60 days in House version) and restrictions against use of ground troops — with the Senate version released Tuesday night. The Senate resolution will be marked up by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.
