Parliamentarians supported President Trump's line.
The U.S. House of Representatives did not support two resolutions aimed at limiting the military operations of President Donald Trump's administration in the Caribbean region, particularly with regard to Venezuela.
The CNN reports.
One of the resolutions, initiated by Democrat Gregory Meeks, included a commitment by the president to withdraw U.S. troops from combat operations against organizations the head of state has designated as terrorist in the Western Hemisphere unless such operations were authorized by Congress or accompanied by a formal declaration of war.
The document failed to garner the necessary number of votes: 216 congressmen voted against it, 210 in favor. Despite this, two Republicans and a majority of Democrats supported the resolution.
A second resolution was filed by Democrat Jim McGovern. It dealt with ending U.S. military involvement in hostilities in or against Venezuela without a congressional resolution.
The House of Representatives also rejected it, with 213 votes against and 211 in favor. Meanwhile, three Republicans voted against party line in favor of the resolution, while one Democrat opposed it.
If passed, both resolutions must be considered and approved by the U.S. Senate for enactment into law.
