In this photo taken Dec. 3, 2014, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speak at Georgetown University in Washington. In 2002, then-Sen. Clinton took a vote in favor of the Iraq war that would come to haunt her presidential prospects. Now, a new generation of senators weighing White House bids _ Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz _ will have to make a similar choice about President Barack Obama&#8217;s use of force request. Clinton, too, will face questions about her position on Obama&#8217;s proposal, but this time has the advantage of avoiding an actual vote on the Senate floor. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
