Latest Action:

Motion to proceed to consideration of measure made in Senate. (consideration: CR S218)

Updated:

January 14, 2026

Chamber:

Senate

This bill orders the President to remove U.S. troops from fighting in or against Venezuela unless Congress clearly approves it. It restates that Congress decides on war. U.S. forces can still act in true self-defense if an attack is imminent. Impact: lowers the chance of an unauthorized war, reduces risks to troops and costs to taxpayers, and presses leaders to debate and use diplomacy before using force.
