Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the use of funds to use military force in or against Venezuela, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of federal funds for military action in or against Venezuela between its enactment and December 31, 2026, unless Congress formally declares war on Venezuela or passes a new law specifically authorizing such force, which must also meet the requirements of the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits the President's ability to commit U.S. armed forces abroad without congressional approval. An exception to this prohibition exists for military actions that are consistent with a specific provision of the War Powers Resolution concerning the introduction of U.S. armed forces into hostilities or situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances.
