The Democratic lawmakers have argued that the attack was not justified by federal or international law, with the president acting unilaterally without congressional approval.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren condemned “President Trump’s unilateral military action to attack another country,” calling the strike “unconstitutional” in a statement posted to X.
“What does it mean that the U.S. will ‘run’ Venezuela, and what will Trump do next around the world?” Warren said. “The American people voted for lower costs, not for Trump’s dangerous military adventurism overseas that won’t make the American people safer.”
Many other lawmakers worry about the long-term implications of the attacks. Trump has claimed that the U.S. will “run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” but has yet to identify a long-term plan.
“It will endanger U.S. lives, destabilize the region, & cost us billions of dollars,” Rep. Ayanna Presley said in a post on X.
