Senate Republicans Block Effort to Limit Trump’s Power in Venezuela

A resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s war powers in Venezuela has been blocked by Senate Republicans. The effort, which was spearheaded by Senator Chris Van Jones, required a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence.

According to reports, the resolution would have restricted Trump’s ability to take military action in Venezuela without congressional approval. However, the bill did not receive the necessary votes to pass.

The Senate GOP has shielded Trump from limits on his war powers in Venezuela, according to CNN. The move comes after a 2-bill spending package was approved by the House of Representatives.

In related news, a 2-bill spending package is one step closer to passing the House. The package includes funding for various government programs and agencies.

The development comes as tensions between the US and Venezuela continue to escalate. Trump has imposed sanctions on Venezuelan officials and has called for regime change in the country.

The Senate’s decision not to pass the resolution limiting Trump’s war powers in Venezuela is a significant development in the ongoing debate over the president’s authority in foreign policy matters.
