Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill, introduced by Representative Moulton, would stop the federal government from spending any money on military operations in or against Venezuela.
- The ban on funding would last from the day the bill is signed into law until December 31, 2026.
- Military force would only be allowed if Congress officially declares war or passes a specific law giving the government permission to use force.
- There is an exception for national emergencies, meaning the military could still act without prior approval if the United States, its territories, or its armed forces are attacked.
- The goal of this policy is to ensure that Congress has the final say before the United States enters into a military conflict with Venezuela.
