On Jan. 22, Republicans successfully blocked another resolution aiming to prevent Trump from using military force in Venezuela without explicit approval from Congress. The vote was 215-215, with two Republicans—Reps. Don Bacon (NE) and Thomas Massie (KY)—joining all 213 Democrats in voting for the measure, reported The Hill. The war powers resolution, led by House Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern (D-MA), would direct the President “to remove United States Armed Forces from Venezuela, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for use of military force.”
