Trump Slams Five GOP Senators Who Voted To Limit His Ability To Conduct Further Strikes In Venezuela: 'Stupidity'

President Donald Trump slammed the five Republican senators who joined Democrats to pass a war powers resolution that would limit his ability to conduct further strikes in Venezuela.

In a social media publication in his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said Republicans "should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America."

He added that Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young, the lawmakers who voted in favor of the resolution, "should never be elected to office again."

"This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President's Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their "stupidity," the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article II of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me. Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject," he concluded.

AP News detailed that Young and Collins flipped on the vote, considering they had voted against similar resolutions in the past. The outlet added that the measure has virtually no chances of becoming law because it would have to be signed by Trump should it pass the House.

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman also supported after previously signaling he could oppose it. He published a statement on social media saying he believes the "arrest of (authoritarian President Nicolas) Maduro was a positive development for Venezuela and its people" and saluted the "incredible military for their precise execution."

"I voted AYE on this resolution to discharge it from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee so we can continue this important debate on the floor of the Senate," he added.
