Occurrences

I'm supportive of Senator Kaine's resolution, but it is not an authorization of military force... I frankly believe that we shouldn't proceed with other business until we get a commitment to have a debate on an Authorization of Military Force... So I want that debate. I think the Senate has to demand that debate.

Murphy committed to supporting Kaine's War Powers Resolution and to pushing the Senate to force a debate on an AUMF for the Iran war before proceeding with other business.

partial same_term A for effort

Murphy publicly endorsed Kaine's war powers resolution and urged the Senate to demand an AUMF debate, and he also voted to advance the Iran war powers measure in the Senate. That shows concrete support and legislative effort, but the evidence does not show that a full AUMF debate or authorization was actually completed, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
