I am urging you to act immediately and decisively to stop the accelerating and unlawful march toward a war with Venezuela — a war Congress has not authorized, the public does not support, and that legal experts warn could expose U.S. personnel to criminal liability. Congress must act now. You have the constitutional authority — and obligation — to prevent an unauthorized war and halt illegal executive violence. Hold emergency hearings. Demand all legal justifications and intelligence assessments. Reassert congressional war powers. Pass binding legislation prohibiting further attacks without authorization. And require immediate cessation of all unlawful killings at sea.
