President Obama on Wednesday made a prime-time address to the nation detailing his plan for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Obama laid out a four-point plan for the terrorist organization promising to degrade and ultimately destroy the Islamic State through a “comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.”

Congress got back to work this week after a five-week summer recess, and members were immediately called into action by Obama, who is asking for their support to arm Syrian rebels to help with the Islamic State.
