Neguse did so following reports that the Trump administration is considering engaging in increased hostilities against Venezuela \u2014 including potential land strikes within the country \u2014 after conducting a series of unconstitutional strikes in the Caribbean.\n\n\u201cPresident Trump does not have the legal authority to launch military strikes inside Venezuela without a specific authorization by Congress \u2014 and I am deeply troubled by reports that suggest this administration believes otherwise,\u201d said Congressman Neguse. \u201cAny unilateral directive to send Americans into war is not only reckless, but illegal and an affront to the House of Representatives powers under Article I of our Constitution. The American people oppose being dragged into yet another endless war, this time in Venezuela, and our constitutional order demands deliberation by the U.S. Congress \u2014 period.\u201d\n\nFull text of H.J.Res.126 is available HERE.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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://neguse.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-neguse-joins-effort-block-unauthorized-war-venezuela"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5594172291457653, "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"}
