The U.S. Senate has advanced a resolution aimed at curbing President Trump's military authority in Venezuela, which was approved by a narrow vote of 52-47. This vote signifies a growing bipartisan disapproval of the administration's military actions following the dramatic capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who is facing drug-related charges in the U.S. The resolution would prevent any military actions against Venezuela without congressional authorization, underscoring the necessity for legislative scrutiny over military engagement, according to CBS News and Reuters.

This resolution saw support from five Republican senators—Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Todd Young, and Josh Hawley—who joined all Democrats in favor of the measure. It comes as the Senate opposes Trump's unilateral military strategies and expresses concerns over the expanding U.S. interests in Venezuelan oil resources. Senator Tim Kaine, who introduced the resolution, stated, "Before you send our sons and daughters to war, come to Congress," highlighting the constitutional obligation to seek legislative approval for military action, as reported by Al Jazeera and ABC News.
