Senate to Hold a Vote on War Powers
The Senate is set to vote on a war powers measure following the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. This report from Bernie Bennett in Washington.
VERBATIM:
Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine said he will force a vote next week to block further military action against Venezuela without congressional approval in the wake of President Donald Trump’s operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he expects “further briefings from the administration on this operation as part of its comprehensive counternarcotics strategy.” House Speaker Mike Johnson added that the Trump administration is working to schedule briefings for lawmakers when they return.
