Sponsor: Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)

01 · What this bill does

Plain English.

A war-powers joint resolution to end unauthorized US military actions against Venezuela. Passed the Senate 52-47 on Jan 8, 2026 in its first form; a second vote two weeks later split 50-50.

02 · Why it matters

The stakes.

The Venezuela vote is the receipt that the war-powers fight is not just about Iran. Same senators, same lobby donors, same instinct to keep executive war power unchecked — regardless of which country the executive is striking.

First successful war-powers vote against the Venezuela operation.
Followed by a 50-50 split on a related Venezuela resolution two weeks later.
Same alignment as Iran votes — the foreign-policy bloc moves as a unit regardless of country.
Together with S.J.Res. 90 and S.J.Res. 124, forms a complete 2026 record of war-powers votes outside Iran.
