Bill Summary
To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.
AI Summary
This joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been explicitly authorized by Congress through a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. The resolution invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, a federal law that provides guidelines for the President's ability to commit U.S. military forces to foreign hostilities. By passing this resolution, Congress is asserting its constitutional war powers and seeking to limit potential military action against Venezuela without explicit congressional approval. The language suggests a proactive approach to preventing unauthorized military engagement and reinforcing the legislative branch's role in decisions about military intervention.
