 Three days after the attacks, Congress passed a resolution authorizing President Bush to use force against "those responsible".The Senate voted 98–0, the House 420–1, with only Barbara Lee (D-California) dissenting.In a lengthy interview explaining her dissent, Lee pointed to her professional training as a social worker and remarked, "Right now, we're dealing with recovery, and we're dealing with mourning, and there's no way... [we should]... deal with decisions that could escalate violence and spiral out of control."
