A group of Republican senators delivered Donald Trump a message of opposition to begin the new year as they voted to limit the president’s ability to launch new attacks on Venezuela.
Five members of the president’s party broke ranks to support a War Powers Act resolution sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia, aimed at preventing the White House from using resources to support further military action inside Venezuela following the capture of the country’s leader Nicolas Maduro. The new resolution blocks the president from using the military against Venezuela without authorization from Congress.
