"We should take him at his word that the president is deadly serious about invading other countries."
"You'll see something ... about Venezuela very soon, and we're working on others."
"McGovern said the measure will be "really clean and simple," which senior Democratic sources told Axios is meant to avoid a failed war powers vote that the administration may see as a green light for further action."
""A number of ambassadors have called to raise concerns about war powers acts that fail," said a senior House Democrat."
House Democrats plan to force a vote on a war powers resolution to block the administration from conducting further military operations in Venezuela without congressional approval. The resolution, led by Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern, will mirror a bipartisan measure introduced last December and will be kept 'really clean and simple' to avoid a failed vote that could be interpreted as a green light. Democrats intend to use similar tools later to prevent incursions into other countries, pursue funding restrictions, and run public pressure campaigns. Party leaders express concern about defections and will press administration briefers in classified sessions.
