María Elvira Salazar (FL-27) today spoke on the House floor in opposition to H.Con.Res. 61, the War Powers Resolution that would wrongly restrict the President’s ability to act against presidentially designated terrorist organizations in the Western Hemisphere, including Venezuela. “This resolution is fundamentally flawed,” said Rep. Salazar. “The War Powers Resolution does not apply to law enforcement or counter-narcotics operations against indicted terrorists like Nicolás Maduro. What the President is doing does not require congressional approval.” Salazar emphasized that the President has clear constitutional and legal authority to defend the United States from terrorist threats and warned that the resolution would weaken America’s response to narco-terrorism in the region. “When Maduro is gone and democracy is restored, Venezuela can once again be the most prosperous country in the Caribbean,” Salazar said. “This resolution would only tie the President’s hands.” Rep. Salazar urged her colleagues to oppose H.Con.Res. 61. 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z
