Elliott Abrams: “The President may not take unilateral military action and must consult with and receive authorization from Congress.”

I do not think the sanctions alone are going to have that impact.

That is, after the Maduro regime, a short transition to an election, and that is the view of all of the 51 nations that are supporting Mr. Guaido.

Either Trump is going to win or Maduro is going to win.

The only reason we are here considering this bill today is because the administration took it upon itself to threaten a war it does not have an authorization to start.
