Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) introduced a bipartisan war powers resolution on Dec. 1, directing the president to remove the U.S military from hostilities within or against Venezuela that Congress has not authorized.
“Donald Trump claimed he would put America first—instead he’s trying to drag us into an illegal war in Venezuela,” McGovern said in a Dec. 2 statement.
