In recent weeks, without any say from Congress, President Trump has ordered several lethal

strikes on boats in the Caribbean, most of which, the White House says, originated from Venezuela.

The president says, we're at war with narco terrorists and that the ships were carrying drugs.

Members of Congress are still pressing the president to provide more evidence on that front. And yet on Wednesday,

Trump said the U.S. could even invade Venezuela itself to stop the shipment of deadly drugs into

America. We've almost totally stopped it by sea. Now we'll stop it by land. Consider this. According to the

Constitution, only Congress can declare war on another country.

Still, Trump has shown he might be willing to attack Venezuela without any congressional approval.

At Radio Lab, we love nothing more than nerding out about science, neuroscience, chemistry.

But we do also like to get into other kinds of stories, stories about policing or politics,
