Senate leader Schumer denounces U.S. military strikes on Venezuela without congressional approval, citing constitutional violations.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the U.S. military strikes against Venezuela, calling them a violation of the Constitution because they were carried out without congressional approval. Schumer, a New York Democrat, stressed that only Congress has the authority to declare war, warning that bypassing lawmakers sets a dangerous precedent. The White House has not publicly explained the rationale for the strikes, fueling concerns about executive overreach and the need for legislative oversight in major military actions.
