The Senate rejected resolutions limiting Trump's strike authority.

Question

Accepted Answer

As of Nov. 6, the US Senate has twice rejected resolutions that would have limited Trump's authority to continue military action against Venezuela or airstrikes against alleged drug vessels. Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Bernie Moreno welcomed the strikes, with Moreno saying "Sinking [the] boat saved American lives." Senator Mark Warner said he was worried about putting American sailors "in harm's way by violating international law" and that neither he nor the Senate Intelligence Committee were briefed ahead of the Sept. 2 operation. Despite bipartisan concerns, the Senate allowed the strikes to continue.
