Senate Advances Resolution to Limit Trump’s War Powers

The Senate has advanced a resolution that would limit President Donald Trump's ability to conduct further congressional-unapproved attacks against Venezuela, sounding a note of disapproval for the president’s expanding ambitions in the Western Hemisphere.

Top Republican lawmakers are firmly backing the Trump administration’s arrest of Venezuela’s president and assertions of control over the South American nation’s oil industry. However, some GOP senators are drawing the line on more attacks without the approval of Congress.
