MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US House of Representatives has voted down the Venezuela War Powers Resolution by 211–213, with nine lawmakers not voting.

Rep. Thomas Massie, who supported the resolution, said it was intended to reaffirm Congress’s constitutional role in deciding questions of war, warning that military action should not proceed without legislative approval.
With the resolution’s failure, no new restrictions were placed on the executive branch regarding potential military actions against Venezuela.
