The House of Representatives narrowly defeated a war powers resolution proposed by Massachusetts Democratic Representative Jim McGovern. The resolution aimed to block unauthorized U.S. military action within or against Venezuela without Congressional approval. The vote tally was 211-213.

This resolution comes amid ongoing concerns regarding U.S. military involvement in Venezuela, which has faced significant political and economic turmoil under the Chavista regime. Recent developments indicate that the regime"s 26-year plundering of South America may be nearing an end, as reported in earlier coverage.

The outcome of this vote reflects the ongoing debate in Congress about the extent of executive power in military matters and the role of lawmakers in authorizing military action.
