A resolution commending the United States military action in Venezuela.
SRES 576 is a Senate resolution commending the U.S. military operation in Venezuela (codenamed Operation Absolute Resolve) that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife on January 3, 2026. The resolution states the operation removed Maduro from power without U.S. casualties, transported him to face federal charges (including narco-terrorism), and provided a path to democratic transition in Venezuela led by opposition figures. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal effect and does not impose new policies or change existing laws. The resolution was introduced by multiple Senators and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee.
