He added that the strikes circumvent Congress\u2019 authority to declare war.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe are vested with the power of declaring war. We ask basic questions,\u201d\u00a0 Kaine, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said. \u201cGive us the intel about these particular boats, that they\u2019re actually carrying narcotics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Trump administration has argued that the strikes on the boats don\u2019t warrant notification to Congress because they don\u2019t rise to the level of war, and that the attacks are in self-defense. Kaine said he rejects those arguments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThat\u2019s just an invented rationale,\u201d he said. \u201cSelf-defense has always been understood (as) imminent attack, imminent invasion of the United States. It is not within the norm of self-defense to define a drugrunner\u2019s operation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Paul said he is working on getting a briefing from the White House about the strikes and was skeptical that in the most recent strike, the four people killed were affiliated with drug cartels.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIf they\u2019re members of a gang and you know them to be terrorists, and you\u2019re convinced enough to kill them, why shouldn\u2019t you know their names?\u201d Paul said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Schiff said that since the first U.S. military attack near Venezuela in early September, the White House has not answered his and other lawmakers\u2019 questions on those missions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe just have little or no information about who was on board these ships, or what intelligence was used, or what the rationale was, and how certain we can be that everyone on that ship deserved to die,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Congress passed the War Powers Resolution in 1973 to limit the president\u2019s authority to wage war overseas after the Nixon administration secretly bombed Vietnam and Cambodia,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gsp.yale.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/walrus_cambodiabombing_oct06.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">killing hundreds of thousands of people.<\/a> Then-President Richard Nixon vetoed the resolution, but Congress overrode the veto.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Capitol, pictured on Oct. 8, 2025.
