President Donald Trump erupted Thursday after a bipartisan Senate vote advanced a War Powers resolution aimed at curbing his authority to launch military action against Venezuela, angrily singling out five Republican senators for breaking ranks. In a blistering rant, Trump accused them of undermining U.S. national security and demanded they never be reelected, framing the rebuke as punishment for daring to side with Democrats. He also recycled his long-standing claim that the War Powers Act itself is unconstitutional, insisting presidents alone should control military force. The outburst underscored growing cracks inside the GOP as lawmakers move to reassert congressional authority while Trump pushes an increasingly aggressive foreign policy agenda.
