US EditionTrump Just Declared War on These 5 Republican Senators Who Dared to Cross Him
The resolution would require congressional approval for new military actions in Venezuela, reflecting concern over executive war powers after a recent U.S. operation, with a 52-47 Senate vote advancing it.
- On Thursday, five Republican senators voted with Democrats to restrict President Donald Trump’s authority on Venezuela, advancing the measure on a 52-47 vote in the U.S. Senate.
- The bill, co-sponsored by Rand Paul , was framed as a direct response to last week's U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
- Senators framed their votes as an oversight check on presidential war powers; Todd Young said future force commitments must have congressional authorization, and Josh Hawley posted on X about `boots on the ground`.
- Despite the backlash, the measure's legal prospects remain slim, though a final Senate vote is scheduled next week, and President Donald Trump blasted the five Republican senators on Truth Social.
- If enacted, the bill would force presidential consultation and votes before new Venezuelan operations, requiring President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval before any new military action against Venezuela.
