Key Republicans Flip, Killing Effort to Restrain Trump's War Powers Over Venezuela

Senate Republicans successfully spiked a bipartisan attempt to curb President Donald Trump's war powers authority, as two key GOP lawmakers reversed their positions after initially supporting the effort to restrain Trump's policing power over Venezuela. The move killed a bipartisan attempt aimed at limiting the president's ability to take unilateral military action in the country. Key Republican lawmakers had initially supported the measure but later changed their stance, allowing the bill to fail. As a result, Trump's war powers authority remains largely intact.
