"Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President's Authority as Commander in Chief."
"Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject. Earlier on Thursday, in something of a surprise, the Senate voted to advance a resolution that would require the president to seek congressional approval before taking any further military action against Venezuela. Five Republicans voted for the resolution as did Senator John Fetterman, whatever he is these days."
The president publicly attacked senators who supported a Senate resolution, naming Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young and urging voters to remove them from office. The president asserted that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional and said past presidents and their Departments of Justice had treated it as invalid. The Senate unexpectedly advanced a resolution requiring the president to obtain congressional approval before taking further military action against Venezuela, with five Republicans and Senator John Fetterman voting to advance it. The vote challenges presidential authority as Commander in Chief, raises constitutional questions, and intensifies partisan conflict over war powers.
