Senate Republicans Dismiss War Powers Resolution Amid Trump's Pressure

Senate Republicans voted to dismiss a war powers resolution intended to limit President Trump's authority to conduct attacks on Venezuela. The high-profile vote underscored Trump's sway over the Republican party and indicated rising concern among lawmakers over his aggressive foreign policy ambitions.

Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to dismiss a war powers resolution that sought to limit President Trump's capability to execute further attacks on Venezuela.

In a tight vote, Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 deadlock, illustrating Trump's considerable influence over Republican lawmakers, despite increasing unease regarding his foreign policy approaches.

Even as Democrats forced the debate following a significant military action in Venezuela, the bill's passage was unlikely, highlighting the political dynamics impacting the Republican-controlled Senate's deference to Trump's military authority.
