Pelosi says Obama war powers plan will be difficult to pass

Pelosi told a news conference "it is going to be hard" for Republicans and Democrats to reach consensus on a plan, given differences over restrictions in Obama's proposal.

Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress, largely oppose the plan's limitations on the large-scale use of ground combat troops. But many Democrats want a blanket ban on the use of such troops.
