What this bill would do

This bill seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for military force in or against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The restriction begins on the date the Act is enacted and lasts until December 31, 2026. Military force would only be allowed if Congress declares war or passes specific statutory authorization that meets War Powers Resolution requirements. There is an exception for military force consistent with section 2(c) of the War powers Resolution.
