A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress. is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Point of order that the measure is not entitled to expedited procedures under 50 U.S.C. 1546(a) raised against the measure agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 50 - 50. Record Vote Number: 9.
Latest action on S.J.Res. 98: Point of order that the measure is not entitled to expedited procedures under 50 U.S.C. 1546(a) raised against the measure agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 50 - 50. Record Vote Number: 9.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects U.S. troops, the President, Congress, and military planners. Troops could not be kept in hostilities in or against Venezuela without clear approval from Congress. The President would have less room to act alone in that situation. Congress would have to vote if it wants to allow that military action.
Why this matters: This matters because it could stop U.S. troops from being used in fighting tied to Venezuela without a vote from Congress. Today, the fight over war powers often turns on how much the President can do alone. This resolution would push that decision back toward Congress. Its real effect would depend on whether U.S. forces are involved, or might become involved, in hostilities in or against Venezuela.
