On Saturday, just two days after Iran's inauguration, Donald Trump once again showed his contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law with his attack on Venezuela. Let's be clear. The President of the United States does not have the right to unilaterally take this country to war, even against a corrupt and brutal dictator like Maduro. The United States does not have the right, as Trump stated, to run Venezuela. Congress must immediately pass a war powers resolution to end this illegal military operation and reassert its constitutional responsibilities. (04:31–04:43)
