Venezuela War Powers Resolution Fails in House

Speaking in favor of the legislation, several Democrats argued that President Trump failed to follow Constitutional procedures when ordering military operations against Venezuela that led to the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro.

However, Erik Sperling of Just Foreign Policy notes that some Democrats criticized Trump for not removing the government of Venezuela. "In effect, they criticized him for not going far enough with regime change," Sperling explained to Antiwar.com.
