The U.S. removal of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro has sparked sharp debate in Washington,<\/p>\n
less over Venezuela than over presidential power.<\/p>\n
Lawmakers questioned how such a major action occurred without Congress,<\/p>\n
reviving concerns about the balance between Congress and the White House.<\/p>\n
Sen. Tim Kaine announced plans to force a Senate vote on a \u201cwar powers resolution\u201d<\/p>\n
to block further action without approval. He called the moment a \u201cconstitutional test,\u201d<\/p>\n
warning against normalizing executive-led warfare and a return to Latin American interventionism.<\/p>\n
Kaine argues presidents have expanded \u201ccommander-in-chief\u201d authority for decades while Congress has struggled to respond.<\/p>\n
