Senate advances measure to restrict Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela
The Senate voted 52-47 to advance a bipartisan resolution to restrict President Trump's power to use military force in Venezuela without congressional approval. Led by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine and co-sponsored by Republican Sen. Rand Paul, the resolution argues that Trump's actions are 'clearly illegal' as they were taken without the required congressional authorization. The measure, which is expected to pass the Senate and face House approval and a presidential signature, sends a message to Trump about the limits of his foreign policy powers.
