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.
