The Senate will vote next week on a bipartisan war powers resolution to block Trump from continuing military against Venezuela — a vote that takes on heightened importance after U.S. forces attacked the South American nation and arrested President Nicolás Maduro early Saturday.
The resolution to block the administration from engaging in further hostilities against Venezuela is privileged, which means Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) cannot stop it from coming to the floor.
The measure is sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
These are elected officials and it’s up to the people that elected them to hold them accountable for their inaction and failure to do their jobs. Or are they just gonna wait till the next election to “do” something about it?
By next election the dems will be pushing for “more humane” long-term governance of Venezuela, Colombia, etc… (aka same as republicans, different marketing)…
We now go live to the DNC headquarters:
