Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker will hold a hearing next week on the president’s universal authority to use nuclear weapons.
Corker, R-Tenn., has engaged in several public spats with President Trump and has questioned his maturity, at one point calling the White House an “adult day care center” lacking a minder. He has also described Trump as unstable and incompetent.
Corker, who is not running for re-election, said the hearing is part of the Senate’s examination of war powers.
The panel on Oct. 30 held a hearing on the congressional authorization of the use of military force, which has not been renewed in 15 years.
