Donald Trump Reacts After Republican Senators Vote to Curb His War Powers

President Donald Trump blasted Republican senators who voted in favor of a War Powers Resolution on Thursday.

“Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

“This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their ‘stupidity,’ the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.”

The Senate on Thursday advanced a resolution to curb Trump’s authority to launch further attacks on Venezuela, signaling disapproval of his growing ambitions in the Western Hemisphere.

Democrats and five Republicans voted 52-47 to advance the war powers resolution, setting up a later vote on final passage. The measure is unlikely to become law because it would need to pass the House and be signed by Trump. Still, the vote signaled unease among some Republicans after U.S. forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise nighttime raid.

This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.
