The U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to advance a resolution blocking Trump from further military action in Venezuela without congressional approval. The resolution invokes the War Powers Act and requires a subsequent vote for final passage. A recent military operation in Venezuela led to the capture of President Maduro. Supporters argue congressional authorization is needed for future actions, while opponents cite executive authority. The resolution could face a presidential veto if approved by both chambers, reflecting a broader debate over executive military powers.
