A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.
Summary
S.J.Res. 90 is a binding joint resolution that would require the removal of United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been explicitly authorized by Congress. The resolution addresses the constitutional requirement that Congress, rather than the President alone, must authorize military operations. If enacted, this measure would direct the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from Venezuela-related hostilities unless Congress has specifically approved such operations through legislation.
Currently, the bill is under consideration in the Senate, with a motion to discharge it from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations filed in November 2025. As a binding joint resolution, if passed by both chambers and signed by the President, it would have the force of law. The practical effect would be to constrain executive military authority in Venezuela and ensure that any continued U.S. military involvement in that region receives explicit congressional approval.
