Last week Senate Republicans struck down a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Trump from using military force against Venezuela.
The Senate previously voted 52-47 to advance a war powers resolution to limit President Trump’s military actions in Venezuela.
Five Republican senators previously joined the Democrats to advance the resolution: Young (IN), Murkowski (AK), Collins (ME), Rand Paul (KY), and Hawley (MO).
However, last Wednesday, two Republican Senators – Hawley (MO) and Young (IN) flipped and voted to strike down the resolution.
Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote last week.

Thursday’s vote comes after President Trump ordered military strikes on Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro was indicted on four counts by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York.
Read the indictment here.
President Trump previously announced that Venezuela would give the United States between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil.
Trump said the oil will be sold at market price.
