House narrowly rejects war powers resolution for Venezuela

House lawmakers have rejected a war powers resolution that would have prevented President Trump from sending U-S military forces to Venezuela. The House vote ended in a tie, falling just short of the majority needed for passage. It came a week after the Senate failed to pass a similar resolution.  Two House Republicans voted with all Democrats for the legislation. The war powers resolution would have directed the president to remove troops from Venezuela, even though the Trump administration told senators last week that there are no U-S forces on the ground there.
