Meanwhile, dozens of protesters gathered outside Congress to denounce the Iraq War.

Protester Adam Eidinger: “I think the president has committed war crimes. I think the war in Iraq is illegal. I believe that he has lied to the American public about the cause for the war. I think there has not been a thorough investigation into that. I think the new Congress has an obligation to the American public after this election to hold this president accountable and to discourage this kind of gross violation of the Constitution and human rights in other parts of the world by future presidents.”
