As we've been reporting, Congress has a lengthy list of priorities since returning this week,

but it's been the administration's operation in Venezuela and what to do next that's dominated

conversations on Capitol Hill.

We get two views tonight, beginning with Michigan Democratic Senator Alyssa Slotkin, with whom

I spoke earlier today.

Senator Slotkin, welcome back to the NewsHour.

Thanks for having me.

The Vice President J.D. Vance today dismissed the War Powers resolution that was advanced in the Senate

and called the War Powers Act it was based on.

He called it a fake and unconstitutional law.

President Trump posted on social media, this vote greatly hampers

American self-defense and national security, impeding the president's authority as commander-in-chief.

To which you would say what?

Well, I would say my guess is the reason they're complaining so loudly is because it was a bipartisan

vote. We had five Republicans who voted with us,

who also agreed that if you're going to go get the United States into a conflict, if you're going to go,

quote unquote, own Venezuela and other country, you've got to come to Congress according to the

Constitution. So I think they're complaining loudly because they don't like how the vote went,

and that means we're going to be voting on further pieces next week on this war powers resolution. So again, it's something that

Democrat and Republicans presidents always sort of chafeunder, no matter who they are. And I wouldn't

be surprised if we went back and saw if Mr. Vance was

advocating for war powers issues when he was a senator.
