Today's Lineup

By Christopher J. Castelli / December 11, 2008 at 5:00 AM

President-elect Barack Obama will meet today in Chicago with former Secretaries of State James Baker and Warren Christopher, Chairmen of the National War Powers Commission.

This bipartisan panel , whose members include Lee Hamilton, former Attorney General Edwin Meese, Abner Mikva, former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft, Anne-Marie Slaughter -- dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton -- and former Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, reviewed and made recommendations about the War Powers Act. Their report was released in July 2008. The meeting is being held at the request of the commission members.

In addition, Vice President-elect Joe Biden will be in Washington on Thursday and will have a private working breakfast with retired Marine Gen. Jim Jones, Obama's choice to be national security adviser, and Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is slated to become secretary of state.
