Congress could also vote down Mr. Obama’s request, which would make him the first president in modern times to lose a vote seeking authorization for the use of force. Also speaking on Fox News, Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York and a former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said that if a vote in the House were held today, Mr. Obama would likely lose as a result of the “isolationist wing.” The House and Senate are expected to vote sometime after they return, although Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, said he would begin hearings this week. Speaking on Saturday night, after Mr. Obama delivered his statement in the Rose Garden, Mr. Reid called a strike against Syria “justified and necessary.”
