2025年12月17日, 国会以两票之差, 未能通过决议, 要求特朗普政府才能对委内瑞拉采取军事行动, On December 17, 2025, Congress narrowly failed by two votes to pass a resolution requiring approval before the Trump administration could take military action against Venezuela, sparking concerns about the erosion of congressional war powers. 这项措施旨在维护《宪法》关于只有国会才能批准战争的要求,这是遗产基金会2025年项目所强调的原则,该项目主张扩大行政权力。 The measure aimed to uphold the Constitution’s requirement that only Congress can authorize war, a principle emphasized in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which advocates for expanded executive authority. 批评者说投票反映出国会在国家安全决定中日益置国会于不顾的趋势, 尽管文件警告政府过度干预。 Critics say the vote reflects a growing trend of sidelining Congress in national security decisions, despite the document’s warnings about executive overreach.
