Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 6915 would prohibit the federal government from spending any money on military force against Venezuela through December 31, 2026, unless Congress first declares war on Venezuela or passes a new law specifically authorizing such military action that complies with the War Powers Resolution. The bill, introduced by Representative Moulton and 14 co-sponsors in December 2025, would affect the Department of Defense and all other federal agencies that might otherwise conduct military operations in or against Venezuela. The legislation includes a narrow exception for military actions that fall within existing War Powers Resolution authority, such as operations needed to protect American lives in immediate danger. The bill has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees. Essentially, this measure reasserts Congress's constitutional authority to decide on military action by requiring explicit congressional approval before any U.S. military force is deployed against Venezuela.
