Withdraw U.S. forces from Venezuela

This resolution sought to require the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Venezuela. It would have applied unless Congress had declared war or passed a law specifically authorizing force. The measure relied on section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution. It named no funding, timelines, enforcement penalties, or targets beyond Venezuela. The main people protected would have been U.S. service members and nearby communities. The resolution failed to pass and did not become law.
