In Committee
Summary
Congress would assert its constitutional authority to end unauthorized U.S. military hostilities in or against Venezuela. This joint resolution would direct the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces for hostilities within or against Venezuela unless Congress issues a declaration of war or provides a specific authorization for the use of military force.
Show full summary
- Congress and the public: Requires full briefings to Congress and a public debate before future engagement, and it points to existing expedited-review laws to speed congressional consideration.
- Operational scrutiny: Cites publicly reported CIA covert lethal operations and a substantial augmentation of U.S. assets, personnel, and operations near Venezuela as reasons to demand congressional review.
- Self-defense exception: Explicitly preserves the United States’ ability to defend itself from an armed attack or an imminent threat.
