The Senate will vote next week on a bipartisan war powers resolution to block Trump from continuing military against Venezuela — a vote that takes on heightened importance after U.S. forces attacked the South American nation and arrested President Nicolás Maduro early Saturday.
The resolution to block the administration from engaging in further hostilities against Venezuela is privileged, which means Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) cannot stop it from coming to the floor.
The measure is sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).


Anyone wanna bet Internet points on how many Democrats will vote FOR war? Taking over under on 25
Festerman will be one of them.
His aye will be a stiffy
Why wager internet points when you can just wager actual money?
because the house always wins
Because I’m not a moron
I’ll wager three cans of beans on the over.
