RICHMOND, Va. -- Sen. Tim Kaine (D - Virginia) visited the WTVR CBS 6 studio Monday to talk about his bipartisan proposal to force Congress to debate and vote on the American fight against ISIS, or ISIL, in Iraq and Syria.

He said members of both parties have criticized President Obama's policy, but that it was time for his fellow legislators to act, and put themselves on the record.

He spoke with our Bill Fitzgerald. Take a listen and see whether you think Congress needs to show our troops and their constituents where they stand.
