It says, Pursuant to section 5C of the War Powers Resolution, Congress hereby directs the President to remove the use of United States armed forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for the use of military force. That is it. I can't even believe this is controversial. I can't even believe that my friends on the other side of the aisle have a problem with this. (19:32–19:52)
