Plain-English Summary
This bill would prevent the U.S. military from using federal funds to conduct military operations in or against Venezuela without explicit congressional approval. The measure is designed to restrict the executive branch's ability to launch military actions in Venezuela, ensuring that any such military involvement would require a separate vote and authorization from Congress rather than happening unilaterally.
