This resolution ends any U.S. military fighting in or against Venezuela unless Congress votes to allow it. It restores Congress's role in deciding war and requires withdrawal from hostilities not approved by lawmakers. Self-defense is still allowed. The goal is to prevent an unauthorized war, lower risks to U.S. troops and costs to taxpayers, and push leaders to debate and try diplomacy before any new action.
Vote Yes on this bill if you want U.S. forces removed from fighting in or against Venezuela unless Congress clearly approves it, restoring Congress’s role and reducing the risk of an unauthorized war.
Organizations that support this bill may include anti-war groups, civil liberties and constitutional watchdogs, some veterans’ organizations that favor restraint, and budget watchdogs worried about costly, open-ended conflicts.
Vote No on this bill if you want the President to keep broad flexibility to use U.S. forces in or against Venezuela without new approval, allowing faster action and sustained pressure.
Organizations that oppose this bill may include interventionist foreign policy groups, some defense industry associations, and advocates for strong U.S. military pressure on Venezuela.
