The U.S. House of Representatives did not pass a resolution aimed at restricting Trump's renewed military action against Venezuela

BlockBeats News, January 23 — On Thursday, Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives vetoed a resolution by a tie vote of 215 to 215, which aimed to prohibit President Trump from taking further military action against Venezuela without congressional authorization.

A few days ago, a similar measure failed to pass in the Senate. In the closely divided House, the vote largely followed party lines. All Republicans voted against, except for Don Bacon of Nebraska and Thomas Massie of Kentucky. All Democrats voted in favor.

This deadlocked vote reflects concerns in Congress (including among some Republicans) about Trump’s foreign policy. An increasing number of people support the constitutional view that the power to deploy troops should belong to Congress, not the President. (Gold Ten)
