President Barack Obama says he is willing to wait weeks, but not months, as Congress debates taking military action against Syria.
Speaking to Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace as part of a media blitz on Monday, Obama said that he is aware he has yet to persuade a majority of the American public or Congress.
"I am going to make sure that this does not change the calendar of debate in Congress, but there was no expectation that Congress would be finished with its deliberations over the next week or so," Obama said.
But he told Wallace he would not wait "months" before making a decision on taking action.
Obama gave six television interviews Monday to press his case that Congress should grant him authority to take action against Syria in response to an alleged Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,400 people.
