But that alone doesn\u2019t justify an armed attack on a sovereign country and forced regime change in violation of international law.\n\n\u201cAnd unless there was an imminent threat to our country, it doesn\u2019t justify violating our Constitution and war powers law which wisely reserve to Congress the grave decision to go to war.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t yet know the full facts or the President\u2019s justification to attack Venezuela, place our troops in harm\u2019s way, capture Maduro and administer the country.\n\n\u201cBut the precedent of any President taking our country to war arbitrarily, single-handedly and without the approval of Congress has cascading effects that are far more dangerous.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T15:05:35Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://case.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4816"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8116988465189934, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
