It was interesting you asked my colleague, Senator Schmidt, should Congress affirm this action and he chose not to answer your question because I think he knows what the law is. He referred to The administration's 40 page legal rationale...specifically says it does not apply to provide a legal rationale for a strike against a sovereign nation like Venezuela. Maduro was a bad guy, but the US shouldn't be at war in Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Nigeria or anywhere else if Congress doesn't have the guts to debate it and vote on it. (01:33–01:49)
