'Hawley should never be elected to office again', Trump sounds off after war powers resolution vote
What do you think?
President Donald Trump isn't too happy with Missouri US Senator Josh Hawley and four other GOP Senators after the chamber advanced a resolution that would limit Trump’s ability to conduct further attacks against Venezuela. That vote was 52-47, with all Democrats voting yes.
Trump reacted to their votes by saying on social media that they “should never be elected to office again” and that the vote “greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security.”
It has virtually no chance of becoming law because Trump would have to sign it if it were to pass the Republican-controlled House. Still, it was a significant gesture that showed unease among some Republicans after the U.S. military seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in a surprise nighttime raid.

“To me, this is all about going forward,” said Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, one of the five Republican votes. “If the president should determine, ‘You know what? I need to put troops on the ground of Venezuela.’ I think that would require Congress to weigh in."
