The violence in Venezuela is appalling. I hope both sides can resolve their differences peacefully. However, if the American people support engaging in military action in the region, then the Constitution requires proper congressional approval first.

That is why I'm an original cosponsor (the only Republican) of H.R. 1004, a bill that would require congressional authorization for any military action in Venezuela. You can read H.R. 1004 here: https://bit.ly/2V7XRrn

All too often, our military gets involved in foreign wars without the consent of Congress. My colleagues and I swore an oath to defend the Constitution. We should come together to uphold that oath by demanding a vote on any military action in Venezuela.

This isn't about warmongering. This is about protecting an ally while they transition power. The other side has outside help. We should help them.
