U.S. Senators Force Third Vote to Curb Trump's Venezuela Military Action

U.S. senators are forcing a third vote to limit President Trump's ability to use military force in Venezuela. The vote is expected this week. Two previous attempts failed. They did not get enough support from Republican senators to pass. This new effort comes just days after a major development. U.S. authorities captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration had offered a $15 million reward for his arrest on drug trafficking charges. The proposed measure is a "war powers resolution." It would require the president to remove U.S. armed forces from Venezuela within 30 days. An exception is made for a formal declaration of war or specific authorization from Congress. The vote is largely symbolic. Even if it passes the Senate, it would likely be vetoed by President Trump. However, it highlights ongoing congressional debate over military authority.
