MAJOR BREAKING: U.S. Senate officially passes a resolution to block President Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela without congressional approval…

**WASHINGTON, D.C. —** In a rare rebuke of President *Donald Trump’s* foreign policy, the **U.S. Senate on Thursday voted 52–47 to advance and effectively pass a war powers resolution** that would bar the president from initiating further military action against **Venezuela without explicit congressional authorization**. The measure marks a significant assertion of legislative authority over the executive branch’s use of force.

The resolution, **sponsored by Democratic Senator Tim Kaine and supported by bipartisan backers**, passed with the unexpected support of **five Republican senators**—a key factor in its narrow victory.

Senators voting in favor insisted that the Constitution entrusts Congress—not the White House—with the power to declare war, and that the **recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela**—including the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—underscored the risk of unchecked presidential military authority.

“**Congress must not be sidelined when the United States sends its forces into harm’s way,**” one supporter said on the Senate floor, echoing a growing concern among lawmakers about executive overreach.

President Trump, who has defended the original Venezuela operation and dismissed the measure as undermining national security, is expected to **veto the resolution if it reaches his desk**. Even so, the Senate’s action signals deep bipartisan unease in Congress over unilateral military engagements and could shape U.S. foreign policy debates in the months ahead.

The resolution must still clear the **House of Representatives** before becoming law, where its prospects remain uncertain given Republican leadership’s alignment with the administration. If passed by both chambers and vetoed by the president, lawmakers would need a two-thirds majority in each house to override the veto—an uphill challenge.
