It will be a Republican decision.
Well, that letter from Marco Rubio really didn't provide much assurance that should have satisfied, let alone changed, their vote on such an important issue.
Basically, that letter from Rubio says that they will seek congressional approval before a major military operation in Venezuela.
But at the same time, they're saying what they've done already
in sending hundreds of troops, in capturing the leader of that country, in blockading that country.
That wasn't hostilities.
That didn't even rise to the level of hostilities.
So I don't know what a major military operation looks like.
And saying that they will come to Congress in that event isn't much of a promise.
And it certainly shouldn't have derailed this War Powers Resolution, which, as you point out, had passed, at least the first step of that process had passed just a few days ago.
Look, the founders gave us the War Power.
They did that at the time because, as one of our founders wrote, they knew that the executive was a branch that was too prone to war, too keen on war.
And so they did something that was really unprecedented at the time.
They said, OK, we're going to give that power to the legislative branch.
But like a lot of other powers, if you don't use it, you lose it.
And we have allowed that power to atrophy.
We have put very little limit on the executive, and particularly this executive, who's now used military action in Venezuela, in Iran, in Nigeria, in Syria, in Yemen, all within his first year, and seems very prone to continue using it.
There's no more important time than now to reestablish Congress's power to say no to the authorization of military force.
Well, I think we are going to be proceeding with other war powers resolutions, depending on circumstances and events.
The president is obviously threatening more military action in Iran at this moment.
