Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., joined Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sens. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in a bid to block President Donald Trump from unilaterally launching any attacks against Venezuela.
“The Constitution gives Congress — and only Congress — the power to declare war. Trump’s illegal boat strikes and threats of land invasion in Venezuela are a clear overreach of power. I filed a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop Trump from starting another forever war,” Kaine said in a post on X.
The Trump administration has conducted numerous lethal strikes against what it has alleged were drug-trafficking vessels of suspected narco-terrorists mostly in the Carribean.
