WASHINGTON—House Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation on Nov. 21 seeking to block funding for the use of U.S. military force in direct hostilities with Venezuela unless President Donald Trump and his administration first seek authorization from Congress.

Led by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), the legislation asserts Congress’s constitutional responsibility to declare wars and authorize military actions.
