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.
