Senators hoping to rein in President Donald Trump’s military adventurism are vowing not to give up despite a legislative defeat, as House Democrats press ahead with their own Venezuela war powers resolution.
Under procedures outlined in the 1973 War Powers Resolution, a concurrent resolution filed by Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., aimed at preventing more military strikes against Venezuela will be eligible for a vote in the House as soon as Jan. 22.
McGovern’s office did not have an update Thursday on the exact timing of the vote, but earlier in the week, McGovern expressed hope at his resolution’s prospects.
