WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate voted on the night of Jan. 14 to shelve a Democrat-led resolution to constrain President Donald Trump’s ability to direct continued military action against Venezuela.
Senators were on track to take the War Powers resolution, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), to a final vote, but Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) raised a point of order challenging the premise of Kaine’s resolution.
