This bill orders the President to remove U.S. troops from fighting in or against Venezuela unless Congress clearly approves it. It restates that Congress decides on war. U.S. forces can still act in true self-defense if an attack is imminent. Impact: lowers the chance of an unauthorized war, reduces risks to troops and costs to taxpayers, and presses leaders to debate and use diplomacy before using force.
Vote Yes on this bill if you want to end any unauthorized U.S. military action in or against Venezuela, reaffirm Congress's war powers, reduce risks and costs, and encourage debate and diplomacy while preserving self-defense.
Organizations that support this bill may include anti-war groups, civil liberties and constitutional watchdogs focused on war powers, some veterans organizations, and budget watchdogs seeking to avoid open-ended conflicts.
