To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.
HCONRES 64 is a congressional resolution directing the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any hostilities against Venezuela that lack explicit congressional authorization. It applies to ongoing military operations in Venezuela not approved by Congress through a declaration of war or specific law authorizing force. The resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), requiring the removal of troops within the timeframe specified by that law. This bill does not affect military actions already authorized by Congress but mandates the end of unapproved operations.
